Introduction
‘Leħen il-Belt Victoria' is a community radio that transmits on frequency
104MHz FM Stereo. It broadcasts all the year round on full or reduced
schedules. Full schedules, of about four to six weeks each, are offered in
the seasons of (1) September-October when school open and the parish year
begins, (2) December-January for the Christmas holidays, (3) March-April
for Easter and St George’s Day as well as (4) June-July for the annual
patronal Festa of St George.
In between these four periods of full schedule, programmes continue to be
broadcast on a reduced schedule form, daily between 16 and 20 hours. At t
the heart of our station’s schedules lies the daily transmission of Holy
Mass and prayers, live, from St George’s basilica. Please see the schedule
page for a timetable.
The aim of this website is to keep our internet listeners informed and, in
the case of Maltese and Gozitan migrants, in touch with their parish, town
and families.
‘Leħen il-Belt Victoria' serves from within St George’s Parish Community
and for many years it was substantially dependent on the Parish finances
for its funding. Now it mostly funds itself through advertisements and the
generous contributions of its listeners.
Advertisements are indeed accepted and these go a long way to cover its
running costs and some capital expenditure. With the addition of monthly
contributions by a number of people, a lift has just been installed in the
building where the stations are found, in the Parish Centre on St George’s
Square, mostly for the benefit of our elderly volunteers.
Suggestions for schedule improvement as well as donations are welcome and
appreciated. They may be sent to: "Radju Leħen il-Belt Victoria", Ufficcju
Parrokkjali, Bazilika San Gorg, Victoria, Gozo, Malta.
