A warm welcome to new and returning listeners!

East Leeds Community Radio is a digital/internet radio station based at Chapel FM Arts Centre in Seacroft.
We celebrate the stories that we all have, encouraging people to find their own ways of sharing them through conversation, music, comedy, writing, sports and other skills.

We broadcast every second & fourth week of the month - we also have a few shows that happen every week. Check out our schedule to find out more.

If you want to contact the Studio during a live show, send us a message on WhatsApp to 07719924988.

When we are on air, there will be a Listen Now button at the top of the page. If it’s not there, check the schedule below for our next broadcast. All previous content from our many years of broadcasting is available on the show pages tab.
