Radio LCR FM 103.6 Lincoln

LCR FM is Lincoln's community radio station, combining local information with a music selection that reaches from the 1960s to current releases. Its library includes artists as different as Frank Sinatra, the Rolling Stones, Marvin Gaye, Shania Twain and Jamie Cullum. That breadth carries through to the schedule, where familiar daytime songs are complemented by programmes devoted to particular musical traditions.

The specialist line-up includes blues, big-band music, folk, classical, country and reggae. Programmes such as Strictly Latin, Groove Line, Soul Express and Northern Soul give other styles a defined place, while decade-based selections revisit the 1970s and 1980s. Lincolnshire Folk connects one of those musical interests directly with the county. Listeners can therefore follow a particular genre as well as use the station for general daytime company.

The presenting team includes Alan Ritson, Julie Cooke, Chris Illsley, Graham King, Sue Heron and Amy Claridge. King's drivetime conversations have included Courtney Harrison from Lincoln BIG, discussing the city's businesses and events. The partnership gives local organisations and traders opportunities to explain their news in the studio, adding personal voices to information about what is happening around Lincoln.

Charities and other non-profit organisations can contribute events for on-air promotion, while the station's Podcast Lounge includes local stories and ideas from established and emerging presenters. Volunteers support the service both on air and behind the scenes, with opportunities for people bringing media experience or skills from other fields. Based at Oak House on Waterside South, LCR FM combines that participation with weather, travel and a musical range extending well beyond a single chart era.
