In 2018 a decision was made by the management board of the station to not apply for a second extension of its community radio licence. While never publicly communicated, the station management told its members that it wished to focus solely on providing an experience for De Montfort University Students. The Chief Executive Officer of De Montfort University Students' Union Penni Robson cited undesirable administration burdens, costs and an unwillingness to service community broadcasters as the reason for not supporting the renewal of the licence. Leicester Community Radio had indicated a strong willingness to take over the licence with some support from Ofcom, but De Montford University Students' Union elected to hand back the license tc Ofcom rather than transfer to a community organisation, leaving Leicester with one less community radio station and 107.5mhz vacant in the area. Ofcom has announced they have no plans for the foreseeable future to advertise any further FM community radio licences in Leicester, leaving this frequency vacant for the foreseeable future.
