  • The Leicester Peak transmitting station is a broadcast transmitting station and communications relay station located near Freetown, Sierra Leone. The site is owned by the Sierra Leone Broadcasting Corporation the country's state broadcaster. It is now the primary (for SLBC) transmitting station providing broadcast services for the Western Area of Sierra Leone.

The Leicester Peak site is located on top of the mountain of the same name which is 564m above sea level. The closest settlement is Leicester village to the south-west of the mountain. Because of its height, coverage extends as far as Makeni and Bo to the east. Signals can be received in Conakry in neighboring Guinea. Apart from the SLBC's own services, the site is leased to other broadcast stations and operators of communications systems such as the state run Sierratel, mobile telephone operators and Internet Service Providers.
