DIL FM UK - Background
DIL FM was established in 1996 in East London. The group incorporated the previously hugely successful Unique FM (1995)
DIL FM received rave reviews from the listeners & the group embarked on a campaign for a commercial radio station for the young British Asian community of East London.
Unfortunately, we were unable to secure this licence despite having an extremely strong application. This was due in part to tremendous competition for the licence as well as internal politics by the then Radio Authority.
After initially awarding the licence to an Asian group Asia FM, the Radio Authority did a complete about turn when it was highlighted that Asia FM's application contained financial irregularities. Instead of choosing between the remaining Asian group applicants, The Radio Authority awarded the licence to a mainstream English radio station Active FM.
DIL FM not deterred, regrouped and broadcast a further RSL licence for 28 days in 2002. Once again, huge support was received from the listeners. At this time there was not any further radio licences available.
Community radio has seen a dramatic rise over the past decade & the radio landscape has changed vastly. Even more so internet radio has exploded across the industry.
After almost two decades away, the management at DIL FM UK decided that the time was right to return. Our loyal listeners who have consistently supported us since 1995 have been instrumental in helping us to achieve this goal.
DIL FM UK is a predominantly music based station.
It is our aim to produce & present live content in the future. We will keep you updated with developments as & when they happen.
In the meantime, we hope that you enjoy taking a trip down memory lane with us. We play only 'hit music'. The music that you want to hear, more variety, more often.
