I write this article about Leros radio because the official website is in Greek so its good to know a few things about the Radio station of Leros that is doing a very good job the last 20 years espesially thanks to Yannis Velis.
The Radio Leros, the first municipal Radio on the Aegean launched on May 1988 at a time when the National programes could only be heared from the Rhodes radio station
In this period, the radio Leros fills a major gap in the FM band, daring unreservedly and strongly reluctant to give its presence in the Herz waves the aspirations of a group of mainly teachers that for many years offer their services from covering the sectors of information, entertainment and culture.
This team immediately embraced by the municipality of Leros and with the decision of the Municipal Council in May 1988 approved and placed this particular activity of Radio Leros as a part of the newly created Municipal Cultural Center of Leros during the service of Mayor Yiannis Antartis operating by the teacher Costas Velis.
On 27 1989, the General Secretariat of Press and Information approved the licence to establish and operate the RADIO LEROS under the Presidential Decree 25/1988, signed by the then Minister of State with the name R.L. F.M S.T transmiting to 102.5 of the band FM.
The RADIO LEROS places particular importance in the field of entertainment and education through a series of musical and training programes extended throughout history, folklore and culture of our region as well as the environment, literature and the arts .
Radio Leros with a renewal of the equipment is giving today the opportunity to the listeners to be able of hearing worldwide Leros Radio via its website www.radioleros.gr
