Radio Fever 107.3 FM

Fever FM is Leeds' South Asian community station on 107.3 FM. Its roots lie in Radio Apni Awaaz, established in 1989, with the Radio Asian Fever name adopted in 1999 and full-time FM broadcasting beginning in March 2007. The service has developed around representation, entertainment and communication for communities whose interests and languages are not always prominent in mainstream local radio.

English, Urdu, Hindi, Punjabi and Mirpuri feature in the station's remit. Music, requests and dedications accompany information about community life, including celebrations and practical announcements. This multilingual approach allows different generations to participate and gives listeners a familiar cultural setting for both entertainment and subjects affecting their daily lives in Leeds.

Jabbar Karim presents Good Morning Leeds, while Woody Khan is heard in Morning Vibe and other programmes. The music includes Sumaira Ji's Lollywood selections, Surinder Singh Ji's Punjabi Mix and Banaris Iqbal's Bhangra Fever and Apna Mirpur. Rubina Ji combines poetry and music, and Dr Mo Sattar hosts What's On Your Mind? The schedule also makes space for nasheeds and naats, a British Muslim Show and opportunities for listeners to take part in a singing contest.

Training and mentoring form an important part of Fever's work. Volunteers can develop presentation, technical and computer skills, with broadcasting providing a practical route into participation and confidence. The station combines this community development role with its on-air programme, linking South Asian music and conversation to the people, organisations and opportunities within its local area.
