“We firmly believe that by working together with neighbouring stations we can improve listening choices across the area," said Mr Hancock.

“We’ve had such a great response since we launched Your Harrogate we know that this area always gets behind local projects”.

“Now we would love to hear from other radio stations and organisations both locally and across the UK who would like to be part of the new Wetherby and Harrogate DAB multiplex”.
