Radio Nova Leicester

Radio Nova broadcast to Leicestershire in the early 1980s, borrowing their name and a few jingles from the famous Dublin station.

They could be heard on 1404 kHz, 212 metres medium wave and featured all kinds of music including reggae with Steve Lee and the American County Countdown with Mike Amos and Bob Kingsley.

For a time in late 1983 they could claim to be Leicester’s only commercial radio station, following the bankruptcy and closedown of Centre Radio but before the replacement provided by Leicester Sound. Inspired by this, and the activities of Sunshine in Ludlow, they had a go at broadcasting 7 days a week. This proved to be a bad move, with the authorities coming down heavy on Radio Nova.

The station had gone by early 1984, but due to their professional nature many of their presenters moved on to work on other stations in Ireland, offshore, abroad and around the UK.
