I missed a show! Can I listen back?

All Colourful Radio shows, except Fresh Music Hour, The Greats, The Night Flight, and Warm Vibes, are available on catch-up online from our Shows pages. Luv Radio is currently a DJ-free non-stop service, so it has no catch-up facility.

How do I submit my music for consideration?

We love fresh, soulful music. Email music@colourful.com to start the process. And check out Colourful Track Of The Week and Colourful Fresh Drops across our socials!

Can I be a DJ, presenter or contributor?

Yes. We’re always open to new and experienced talent. Email your demo and ideas to hr@colourful.com

Yes, we do, through our programming and in support of community initiatives.

For over five years, our original programme, The Voices of Windrush, hosted by journalist Sinai Fleary and Windrush Campaigner Prof Patrick Vernon OBE, shed light on 'The Windrush Scandal'; sought to provide useful pointers to help those adversely affected seek justice; and celebrated the legacy of the Windrush generation. For the entire period, Colourful provided the only broadcast platform dedicated to the scandal.

We also partner with cultural events, festivals, and projects that align with our mission to uplift and inspire. We've supported hundreds of community-focused organisations and activities from their inception, including Rumfest, Afro Hair and Beauty Show, Africa On The Square (now, Black On The Square), Windrush Day, UK Black Business Show, African Caribbean Leukaemia Trust (ACLT), Apprentice Fair, Jamaica Basic Schools Foundation, The Black Baby Show, Ghana Party In The Park, British Urban Film Festival, Onelove Festival, African and Caribbean Armed Forces Day, Africa Centre Summer Festival, African Concert Series, London Pan African Film Festival, Windrush Caribbean Film Festival, One Africa Festival, University Gospel Choir Of The Year, Curly Treats Festival, Wandsworth Jobs Fair, Lambeth Jobs Fair, South London Jobs Fair, London Jobs Fair, Africa Utopia, GUBA Awards, Africa Fashion Week London, Lambeth Country Show, and more.

I can’t hear the station on DAB. What should I do?

Try rescanning your radio. If issues continue, check our coverage map or listen online.

Why is there a delay between the DAB broadcast and the online stream?

Online streams have a small delay (about 5 seconds) due to internet processing, which is perfectly normal for all digital stations.

Do I need an account to listen online?

No. Click “LISTEN” on any of our websites.

If all else fails?

We've got you! Email support@colourful.com, and we will get you listening before long.
