Radio stations in East Yorkshire

East Yorkshire identifies the eastern part of a much larger Yorkshire radio landscape. A programme expressly presented for this area has a different audience from a service for Leeds, for South and West Yorkshire, or for the whole county grouping. Its name and intended reach are the useful criteria, rather than the fact that a broad Yorkshire service can also be heard further east. This category gives a named eastern edition an appropriate setting while allowing towns and other parts of Yorkshire to retain their own geographic identities. Place does not determine a station's musical format. Hit music, familiar popular songs and speech programmes can each address an East Yorkshire audience for different reasons. Some regional schedules include shows heard elsewhere; sharing programmes does not require neighbouring editions to have identical audiences. A useful description explains whom the service addresses and what it offers, without assuming that all of its presenters broadcast from this area. The wider Yorkshire category supplies context, while East Yorkshire offers a more precise term for an edition bearing that distinct regional name.
