The station was re-launched in 1999 as Fresh AM, with a slight change of name two years later to Fresh Radio pending the introduction of FM frequencies. The station featured a variety of music, with contemporary recording artists from the 1960s to the present day, local and national news, weather, travel, quizzes and local information.įresh Radio was launched as Yorkshire Dales Radio with the strapline "May the fourth be with you". It aimed initially to commence broadcasting in mid-2009. The same month MuxCo applied for a local DAB Digital Radio licence to cover the North Yorkshire area, and was awarded the licence in December 2007. In September 2007 it was announced that the station would launch on DAB across North Yorkshire. Its coverage area was, broadly, bounded by the M6 motorway to the west, the A1(M) to the east, the A66 to the north, and the towns of Skipton, Keighley and Ilkley to the south. Fresh Radio broadcast to an area of approximately 2,000 square miles (5,200 km 2) to an adult population of around 200,000 people. The station's main studio was based at Broughton Hall near Skipton. The Ilkley transmitter also began broadcasting on 107.1 FM as of 18 February 2007, a frequency also used by the former AM Pateley Bridge transmitter, while AM broadcasting continued on 936 AM covering Wensleydale, 1413 AM from Skipton and 1431 AM from Settle. The FM transmitter for Richmond on 102.6 FM commenced broadcasts on 11 February 2007 on 102.6 FM, however the rollout elsewhere was delayed, and AM kept being broadcast in Richmond, alongside the FM frequency.
#RADI OFRESH ARCHIVE#
The organization credits that app with helping grow its archive significantly.Two of the three AM frequencies were originally to be switched off by April 2007 and replaced by FM transmitters in Skipton, Ilkley, Pateley Bridge, Settle, Richmond and Grassington. Stor圜orps’ first app rolled out in 2015 with the help of a $1 million TED Prize awarded to founder Dave Isay. The app is available on the App Store and Google Pla y. The app user can choose to make their interviews public, or available only to the Stor圜orps community, or just with friends and family. The recordings go to the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress, “the largest single collection of human voices ever gathered.” Since its founding 19 years ago, Stor圜orps says, it has given 600,000 people, in all 50 states, the chance to record interviews about their lives. “The app also seamlessly enables users to explore Stor圜orps’ rich content, curate personalized interview collections and share Stor圜orps stories to social media.” “From one device, the Stor圜orps App allows anyone, anywhere, to conveniently prepare for and record a high-quality interview for preservation in the online Stor圜orps archive and eventually at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress,” the nonprofit organization announced.
