'''Deccan Radio''' was a community radio station in [[Hyderabad]], India, operating on 107.8 MHz FM. The station was licensed to the Abid Ali Khan Educational Trust and broadcast a limited schedule of community programs.{{R|group=|cemca|page1=|q1=||}} 

The station had evidently ceased regular broadcasting around 2015. During this time, a new community station, Radio Charminar, started on the frequency, transmitting from a site {{Convert|3|km|mi|abbr=}} away from Deccan. The result was a complaint from Charminar, which claimed Deccan's broadcasts and consequent interference made advertisers hesitant to purchase air time on the other station.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Dedhia|first=Zinal|date=2017-02-20|title=Radio Charminar and Deccan Radio face 'frequency clashes'|url=http://www.radioandmusic.com/biz/radio/community-radio/170220-radio-charminar-and-deccan-radio-face-frequency|url-status=live|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2020-07-06|website=www.radioandmusic.com|language=en}}</ref>
