103 The Eye is the community radio station serving Melton Mowbray and the towns and villages within the Vale of Belvoir. Our name comes from the River Eye which flows through Melton.

We broadcast hit music from the last 50 years plus specialist programmes, news and local community information, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Unlike commercial radio, 103 The Eye is a community station. This means we are a non-profit organisation. We are here to inform and entertain the people of Melton, North East Leicestershire and South Nottinghamshire as well as playing an active part in the community and providing training opportunities.

We were awarded the Mayor of Melton's Award of Merit 2009 for our community and volunteering work. In 2010, our original broadcasting licence was extended for another five years by the broadcasting regulator OFCOM. We also won the Federation of Small Businesses Leicestershire, Northamptonshire and Rutland Award 2010 for Contributions To The Community.

Local Events

If you are organising an event locally, do contact us. We can promote it on the air and on this website. For community events and activities which are non-profit-making or where all proceeds go to charity this publicity is free of charge. However, please remember that it costs a considerable amount of money to keep the radio station running and if you have a successful day, we would appreciate a donation towards our funds.
