BBC Radio York
Encyclopedia
BBC York is the BBC Local Radio
service for the English
county
of North Yorkshire
.
. A year prior to its launch, a temporary AM service was broadcast for coverage of Pope John Paul II's visit to the city.
BBC York was the only local radio station in North Yorkshire in its first nine years of operation. The independent commercial rival, Minster FM
, began broadcasting on 4 July 1992. Stray FM, the independent station covering the Harrogate
and Ripon
areas, made its first transmission exactly two years to the day after Minster's launch and eleven years to the day after BBC York's launch.
The first station manager was John Jefferson with the late Tony Fish as Programme Organiser. The original team included David Farwig, Derm Tanner, Andy Joynson, Will Hanrahan, Graham Pass, Andy Hitchcock, Chris Loveder and Chris Choi, Charlotte Counsel, Shirley Lewis, and Sandy Barton,
on 95.5 (Olivers Mount, Scarborough), 103.7 (Acklam Wold transmitter near Leavening, midway between York and Malton
) and 104.3 (Woolmoor, near Upsall four miles north of Thirsk

) FM
, 666 (Fulford
), 1260 (Row Brow, Scarborough) AM and by Real Player from their website. It is not on DAB
yet. BBC Local Radio stations have reserved space on the local commercial DAB multiplex. No such multiplex is on air yet for North Yorkshire, however there is an MXR (Chrysalis
) regional multiplex broadcasting from Acklam Wold, but BBC York is not part of this.
Acklam Wold is the strongest frequency on 103.7 which is for Ryedale
and the Vale of York
, and the 140 ft transmitter also has the commercial station, Minster FM
on 104.7. The 103.7 signal can be heard as far south as Mansfield
on the M1
, and can be received in West
and South Yorkshire
. The transmitter used to broadcast on 90.2 FM, and another on 97.2. The Olivers Mount transmitter also has Yorkshire Coast Radio
on 96.2, as well as television and national radio frequencies. The Woolmoor transmitter has national radio frequencies.
Much of BBC York's studio infrastructure was the original Mk3 installation, dating from the station's inception in 1983. This aging equipment had become unreliable, causing the station to "fall off air" regularly http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/foi/classes/how_decisions/rac_yor_octnov_08.pdf. Because the refurbishment required was significant, it would not be possible to continue to broadcast from the existing premised during the refurbishment, and no suitable alternative premises could be identified. Therefore plans were drawn up for BBC York to move in with BBC Leeds temporarily http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/foi/classes/how_decisions/rac_yor_jan_09.pdf and to retain a presence in North Yorkshire through the BBC Bus, and through increased contributions from district studios in Harrogate and Scarborough. BBC York has since completed refurbishment of studio equipment and news room.
