… Many members of the Asian community living in Manchester and its neighbouring districts and towns will
be benefited from this much wanted service for community empowerment, information provision and
general entertainment by active participation of listeners not only from the Asian background but others in
the multi-ethnic community interested in Asian Arts, Culture and Social events. The applicants, part of the
well known and well acclaimed Sunrise Radio, have the right experience and competence to provide a
service that the Mancunians need and have been deprived of so far.
