Akash-ing in Leeds

Akash FM are on-air again, with another RSL on 87.7 from Leeds.

Signal near Garforth is good enough to read RDS = AKASH FM

Clear frequency (for a change nowadays), means Akash FM can be heard weakly as far as near Rotherham on the M18 motorway.

Akash FM Leeds

Akash FM are doing an RSL in Leeds, on 87.7 FM.

RDS = AKASH FM

Programmes heard are mostly in an Asian language (Hindi?).

No website can be found, but the station is thought to be connected with the satellite station Akash Radio.

According to Wikipedia, Akash means "Ether" in Sanskrit - so it is an appropriate name for a radio station!


On other matters, Sheffield Live 93.2 have started full programmes. Very obviously a community-based station, programme style (around 5pm at least) reminded me of the black FM pirates in Sheffield back in the late 90s :-)
