BBC Radio York

BBC Radio York connects the city with communities across North Yorkshire through news, conversation, music and local sport. Its audio selection makes room for both a city's public life and stories from places such as Harrogate and Scarborough. The station is therefore more than a guide to York itself: the wider county is part of its editorial identity.

Football is a particularly visible strand. York City features have included The Happy Wanderers: York City's Proudest Moment and York City: Back in the Football League. Other coverage has followed Harrogate Town and Scarborough Athletic, including discussion of the latter club's financial shortfall. These interviews and features give listeners context around their clubs as well as the immediate result of a match.

Secret North Yorkshire develops local history into longer audio stories. Gunpowder and Treason: The Real Guy Fawkes is one example, with episodes including The Soldier and the Shadow Network and The Fall Guy. Alongside such series, Your Voice invites community stories and concerns, Upload offers a platform for talent, and Make a Difference provides help and information for the area.

Sile Sibanda's programme combines music and conversation for African and Caribbean communities. Tracks shown with the programme have included Bob Marley & The Wailers, Beres Hammond, Tom Browne and En Vogue, bringing reggae, soul and R&B into the evening mix. Not every hour is produced solely for York: Jo Good's Late Night Jo is part of the shared schedule, and weekend overnight hours join BBC Radio 5 Live. Local reporting, football and North Yorkshire features remain the distinctive reasons to choose this service.
