YO1 Radio is a York-based local station serving York, Selby and North Yorkshire with music, news, travel, community information and presenter-led radio. Its name comes from the YO postcode area, and the station has grown into a multi-platform local service available on FM, DAB+, online, app, smart speakers and digital TV. That gives it a stronger local footprint than a simple online station.

The station broadcasts 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with local programmes originating from within the service area and a mix of live, recorded and automated output. YO1 Radio carries national news around the clock and also provides local news through The Press, giving listeners a route into York and North Yorkshire stories alongside music and entertainment. Its schedule is built around familiar local-radio rhythms: breakfast, mid-morning, lunch, afternoon, drive and weekend specialist shows.

YO1 Radio is useful because it fills a clear local gap for York and North Yorkshire. Bigger radio brands often flatten local identity into regional or national output, but YO1 keeps the focus on York, Selby and the county around them. With local presenters, community publicity, what’s-on information and regular ways for listeners to get involved, it gives York another locally based station with actual presence in the city.

Notable Presenters & Shows

YO1 Radio’s current presenter line-up includes Nick Hancock in the Morning, with games including What’s In My Boot and the 5 A Day Quiz; Julie Blackburn on weekday lunchtimes with music, challenges and her Number 1s at 1; Wayne Chadwick in the Afternoon; Tim West on drivetime; Jonathan Cowap on Saturday mornings with local guests; Dave Parker on the Retro Chart Show; and Aaron Blanchard for early mornings and weekend shows.
