 Wednesday, 27th March 2002 New Access radio stations appear on the dial.
A new children's radio station has launched in Leicester as part of the Access Radio scheme. In Nottingham, a station aimed at the South Asian community has also taken to the air. The stations are non-profit making, as part of an idea to bring creative, original and innovative community stations to the air.
Takeover Radio, an experimental service for kids and teenagers, with contributors aged between 8 and 14 years, can be heard across Leicester on 103.2FM - the frequency originally used by Leicester Sound.
