Avtar Lit

Avtar Lit

Dr Avtar Lit is the owner and chairman of Sunrise Radio, and was named one of the "20 most powerful Asians in England" [http://www.asiansinmedia.org/top20/2005/14.php] . His son Tony Lit, Director of Sunrise Radio, is also active in the family business.

Lit's fortune is reportedly worth around $96 million.

Controversy

Avtar Lit stood as a candidate for the Ealing, Southall constituency in the 2001 General Election. Sunrise Radio carried extracts from an interview with Dr Lit in advance of this, which was contrary to section 90(2)(b) of the Broadcasting Act 1990. The Radio Authority (now Ofcom) fined Sunrise Radio £10,000 for this breach.
