Muslim Community Radio or MCR, is a radio station based in London, United Kingdom founded in 1998. The station runs through an AM Radio, at 1143 AM (formerly 87.8 FM & 101.4 FM prior to that), and only broadcasts annually during the holy month of Ramadan. The slogan of the radio station is 'Ramadan Special'.[1]

Description

The station broadcasts from the London Muslim Centre, which is located next to the East London Mosque on Whitechapel Road in Tower Hamlets. It started to broadcast in 1998 through a RSL, then through Spectrum in the next years, and since 2001 acquired the rights to broadcast 24 hours across east London during the holy month of Ramadan. Its presenters are volunteers. The Islamic Forum Europe runs the radio station with assistance from the Young Muslim Organisation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YMO), the Junior Muslim Circle, the East London Mosque and the London Muslim Centre.[2]
