From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Minster FM is an Independent Local Radio station based in Dunnington near York, Yorkshire, England and covering the city.
The station broadcasts on 104.7FM from Acklam Wold, near Leavening, on the Yorkshire Wolds and used to cover an area further west using a signal on 102.3FM from Calvert's Carpets in Thirsk. Station owners The Local Radio Company have since secured a sister station Minster Northallerton for the town of that name, and the latter now uses the 102.3 site and signal.
Minster FM went on air nine years to the date after BBC Radio York started broadcasting and at launch the station had a live, locally presented schedule 24 hours a day. Unusually for the time, local news was not made in-house and was produced by Yorkshire Television's newsroom.
