On November 24, 2005 The Muslim News reported, "The first permanent Islamic radio station to be set up in the UK is to be launched in Bradford. Islam Radio will broadcast on digital DAB radio from 2 pm tomorrow and will broadcast around the clock. The ground-breaking station will feature discussion programmes, women's and children's programmes and will even feature live link-ups to the holy mosques of Mecca, Medina and Jerusalem. The station is the brainchild of Mohammed Sajid, who set up the station in response to growing calls from his local community for a dedicated Islamic radio station... The station will broadcast the call to prayer five times a day, as well as featuring stories from the prophets and Islamic music from its studio at Commercial House on Manningham Lane."
