BBC Radio Leicester

BBC Radio Leicester brings news, discussion, music and sport to Leicester and the wider Leicestershire area. The city's communities and the county's towns supply different voices and subjects, from public decisions to culture and everyday experiences. Its mixed programme combines immediate local reporting with features that take more time to explore a story.

Football and rugby are prominent interests. Leicester City: When You're Smiling follows developments at the football club, while the Leicester Tigers Rugby Show discusses the team and wider club matters. Match commentary is accompanied by Full-Time, which gathers results, reaction and contributions from listeners. These programmes give sport a continuing conversation beyond the live action.

Secret Leicestershire explores places and stories that may be familiar in name but less familiar in detail. Subjects include the lost beacon on Beacon Hill, Charnwood's connection with Charnia fossils and the local game of nurdling. Richard III: Car Park King provides a longer narrative about the search for the king, connecting a nationally known discovery with its Leicester setting.

Make a Difference carries local help and information, while Your Voice welcomes experiences and concerns from the community. Upload provides space for creative contributions. Music, entertainment and shared BBC strands complete the service, with Jo Good's Late Night Jo among its evening programmes. The result is a station in which local history, major sporting clubs, personal accounts and the daily news agenda can each become a substantial part of the listening experience.
