BBC Radio Leeds is the BBC Local Radio service for the English metropolitan county of West Yorkshire.
Contents |
It broadcasts from its studios at St. Peters Square in Leeds on 92.4 (Holme Moss), 95.3 (Luddenden, two miles west of Halifax & Wharfedale, two miles north of Otley), 102.7 (Keighley, on Rombalds Moor near Riddlesden) 103.9 (Beecroft Hill, in Bramley near Leeds) FM, 774 (New Farnley, near the A58) AM and DAB.
The main VHF/FM transmitter is Holme Moss on 92.4MHz. Unusually this transmitter also transmits neighbouring services Radio Manchester and Radio Sheffield from separate directional aerials on the mast.
Radio Leeds is also carried on the Wharfedale and Luddenden transmitters on 95.3Mhz, from Keighley on 102.7 and from Beecroft Hill (West Leeds) on 103.9MHz.
The medium wave service on 774KHz is transmitted from Farnley (also known as Leeds MF). The Asian Network is carried on this frequency at certain times of the day.
Since 2001 Radio Leeds has been carried on the EMAP Leeds DAB multiplex, and since October 2002 on the UTV EMAP Bradford, Huddersfield and Halifax Multiplex.
Live streaming is available from the station's website.
Along with the BBC Yorkshire's television output, it moved, also in 2004, from the old studios on Woodhouse Lane to a new broadcasting centre in St Peter's Square, near the West Yorkshire Playhouse. It also has offices and studios at the National Media Museum in Bradford but has disposed of smaller facilities in Halifax and Wakefield and Huddersfield[citation needed].
In 2004, BBC Radio Leeds became the second BBC local radio station in England, after BBC London 94.9, to broadcast 24 hours a day.

One of the station's most successful shows was the Alex Hall Late Night Phone-In. The programme was networked on all of the BBC stations in the old BBC Yorkshire and Lincolnshire region from 10:00 p.m - 1:00 a.m. Sunday to Thursday. Listeners from would call in with their observations or problems (sometimes of a bizarre nature). Alex moved to BBC Tees. Her programme was filled by Russell Walker on BBC Radio Leeds, while the other BBC stations concentrated on their own programming.
Another popular presenter Martin Kelner who also broadcast a regular Friday & Saturday late show on the BBC Night Network recently left the BBC. It is thought that the Programme Controller wanted a more female friendly presenter in his slot. Martin now broadcasts on commercial radio station Real Radio.
