Radio Your Ilkley

Your Ilkley is a hyper-local station created for Ilkley and nearby communities including Menston, Burley in Wharfedale and Addingham. It launched in 2024 when the former Rombalds Radio operation expanded into separate Ilkley and Skipton services. The broadcaster describes it as the first fully focused radio station for the Ilkley area, supported by local news, events, competitions and town-specific digital coverage.

A broad range of familiar music sits around locally relevant presentation rather than a specialist genre format. The schedule includes named daytime presenters and a continuing station service outside those shows, while podcasts and interviews give local organisations and events additional space. This combination makes Your Ilkley useful both as easy everyday listening and as a source of connection with the community.

Alex Cann, Stuart Clarkson and Nick Babb form the weekday presented sequence. Cann also speaks with local guests, including an interview about Addingham Gala Festival Weekend. The music brief stretches from ABBA and Elton John to Lady Gaga, George Ezra and George Michael, placing recent pop alongside established favourites rather than following a single era.

The station shares ownership and some heritage with Your Skipton and Your Harrogate, yet it is not merely an alias for either service. Its news agenda, branding and intended audience are centred on Ilkley and the surrounding Wharfedale area. Individual shows can change as the service develops, but the station's defining promise remains local radio made specifically for this part of West Yorkshire.
