103 The Eye is a community radio station serving Melton Mowbray and the Vale of Belvoir in the East Midlands of England.
It broadcasts on 103FM, on DAB+, online and via smart speakers, and takes its name from the River Eye which flows through Melton Mowbray.
"103 The Eye" was the first community radio station in the United Kingdom to begin broadcasting on a full five-year licence granted by Ofcom[citation needed].
Before 2004 the station had been known as "TWC", and had held a number of 28-day Restricted Service Licence broadcasts with the aim of persuading the Radio Authority to license a new local commercial radio station to serve Melton Mowbray, Cotgrave, Bingham and the surrounding areas of southeast Nottinghamshire and north Leicestershire.
[citation needed] The first song broadcast after the official launch at 07:00 on 1 November 2005 was "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor.
