On this day 35 years ago Sunrise Radio was born when Founder Avtar Lit was welcomed into many Asian households.
Sunrise Radio was the first of its kind, a 24 hour radio station for British Asians.
Tony Lit, MBE, said: “Today we celebrate 35 years of unforgettable music, cherished memories, and unwavering community support.
“From our first broadcast in 1989 to becoming the UK’s first National Asian Commercial Radio Station, and remaining the UK’s Number 1 Asian Commerical Radio Station for 35 years, our journey has been all about our loyal listeners, partners, and the Sunrise Team.
“Thank you for being part of this incredible story and here’s to many more years together!”
Sunrise Radio is marking this milestone of 35 years with a Special All Request Week, listeners are invited to ask for their favourite songs from 1989 to 2024 and share memories that made these years so special.
The station now broadcasts on 963/972am in London, and nationwide on DAB.
