Today IBC Tamil Radio is celebrating its 14th birthday.  IBC Tamil Radio is based in London, and it was launched on 9th June in 1997 as the second 24 H Tamil radio-station in UK & Europe after TRT Tamil Oli from Paris. Since 1997 IBC Tamil Radio has been a voice of Eelam Tamils and has become one of the leading Tamil radio-stations in UK & Europe, broadcasting on Eutelsat Hotbird (13 degree East): 12597, V, SR 27500 and fec 3/4.

In 2000 it was merged with TRT from Paris, and for a period it was also available on 12245, H, SR 27500 and fec 3/4, where it replaced TRT Tamil Oli. For many years it was also available on Spectrum Radio for 3 Hours daily on 558 kHz AM in London, but was replaced by ILC Tamil (run by former presenters of IBC Tamil Radio) in June 2010. In the same period IBC Tamil Radio started 24 H transmission on Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) in the Greater London area.

In December 2010 IBC Asia was launched by IBC Tamil Radio on DAB radio in Greater London area and on Eutelsat Hotbird (13 degree East): 12597, V, SR 27500 and fec 3/4. IBC Asia is a sister-radiostation mainly broadcasting programmes in Hindi and some other Indian languages also.
