Sabras Radio — Bollywood & Bhangra Hits

Broadcasting from Leicester on 1260 AM since 1995, Sabras Radio — the name translates roughly to "all tastes" — has quietly become the backbone of Asian music in the East Midlands. The format blends Bollywood chart-toppers with Bhangra, Gujarati folk, and devotional programming, all threaded together by presenters like Raj Baddhan on Drivetime and Rishi Modi handling breakfast duties. What makes it work is the range: you'll catch Punjabi Sabras one hour, Hindu devotional the next, then pivot straight into contemporary Indian pop. DAB and online streams extend the reach well beyond Leicester into Birmingham, Coventry, and Milton Keynes — essentially anywhere the British Asian diaspora has put down roots. Thirty years on-air and still the go-to for a community that rarely gets this kind of dedicated coverage on the dial.
