How to listen

You can tune in to your local radio station in one of the following ways:

• On DAB
• Online at www.yourharrogate.co.uk
• Via our FREE smartphone app
• On your smart speaker

We’re on DAB!

We were delighted to bring proper local radio back to Harrogate on ‘proper radio’.

We’re broadcasting on the North Yorkshire DAB multiplex using the latest DAB+ technology.

You’ll be able to find us listed in your station list by our name – just search ‘Your Harrogate’ and tune in!

Depending on your radio you might need to do a ‘rescan’ to find us the first time.

Whilst some older DAB digital radios might only receive DAB stations, the majority of newer devices can receive DAB+ stations as well as DAB, and there are lots of DAB/DAB+ radios available which will give you access to DAB and DAB+ stations.

To receive DAB+ stations you must have a DAB+ enabled radio. The simplest way to be sure is to look for the Digital Radio Tick Mark on the radio or its packaging. All radios that bear that Tick Mark are able to receive FM, DAB and DAB+ stations.

If you are buying a new digital radio, look for the Digital Radio Tick Mark as this means the radio is DAB+ enabled and will receive the available DAB, DAB+ and FM radio stations. If the product does not have the Tick Mark, then read the product description carefully and check that it specifies DAB+.

You can listen to Your Harrogate live on most smart speakers – and in every room of the house!

To listen on an Amazon Echo Dot or other Alexa smart speakers, just say “Alexa, enable skills” and then “enable Your Harrogate”.

From then on just say “Alexa, start Your Harrogate” and you’ll be tuned in!

As for Google smart speakers, you need to say “Hey Google, Ask Tune In to Play Your Harrogate.”

What about FM?

Unfortunately Ofcom are not issuing any further FM licences just yet – but thankfully we’re fairly certain that DAB is the future of radio!

Most radio listeners tune in via DAB in their cars, on smart speakers or via other online streaming methods when at home.
