OUR STORY
Akash Radio is one of the pioneering Punjabi radio stations in the UK. The brainchild of S Sukhwinder Singh Sukhi, it first launched on SKY digital platform in 2002. It became the only Punjabi radio station in the UK to be recognised in The House of Lords as the 'Best Punjabi Broadcasting station in Europe'. Eventually, it went on to broadcast in and around Yorkshire since 2010 under the able leadership of our Chairman Mr Gurmail Singh Sahota. In it's newest avatar as a community radio station, Akash Radio returned to West London DAB in Novermber 2025, and officially launched on the Parkash Purab of Guru Nanak Dev Ji.
For The Community
Akash Radio is a community radio station broadcasting on the West London DAB multiplex, created to serve and celebrate the vibrant Punjabi-speaking and South Asian communities across Ealing, Hillingdon, Harrow, and Hounslow.
We are a not-for-profit Community Interest Company (CIC), run by volunteers and supported by the community we represent. Our mission is to connect generations, preserve culture and language, promote wellbeing, and give a voice to every section of our community — from elders to young people, from Punjabi and Hindko speakers to newly arrived families.
Our programmes blend music, culture, spirituality, news, and local information with discussions on everyday issues such as housing, education, health, and civic participation. We work closely with local gurdwaras, councils, NHS services, schools, and interfaith groups to share trusted information and strengthen community bonds.
Through training, workshops, and volunteering, Akash Radio London helps people develop media and communication skills, build confidence, and get directly involved in running the station. Every pound raised goes back into improving our service, empowering voices, and creating positive change in our community.
