大象传媒

Radio Leicester went on air on 8 November 1967. The station was the pioneer in the 大象传媒's experimental local radio network, the first of 8, broadcasting on VHF. It was joined later in the month by Sheffield and Merseyside. Local radio was very much the brainchild of Frank Gillard - the former war reporter turned Director of Radio - who saw it as a chance to present "the running serial story of local life in all its aspects".
