Dales Radio launched on 11 January 2016, following the closure in 2012 of Fresh Radio, a commercial radio station covering the Yorkshire Dales area. A number of presenters and staff at Dales Radio were previously involved with Fresh Radio.[2]
In 2021, the station began to expand its coverage across the Yorkshire Dales National Park. This involves installing new transmitter sites in unserved parts of the region. A new transmitter at Leyburn, on 104.9 FM, went live on 2 April 2021.[3]
Programmingedit
Dales Radio is a not-for-profit community radio station and aims to enhance the lives of those living in and visiting the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Much of the station's output consists of pop music and local information, with specialist music shows delivered during off-peak hours. The station's Key Commitments require it to deliver "reports on items of local interest, traffic and travel, weather, public service announcements, interviews and discussions".[4]
Transmissionedit
