Coverage Area
The Leeds programme covers the areas of Radio Leeds and Radio Sheffield. Due to the size of the North Yorkshire county, the listenership of Radio York is covered by the geographically-multitudinous Look North programmes from Leeds and Newcastle.
Many homes in southern areas of North Yorkshire such as York and Selby have their aerials directed at Emley Moor, meaning they receive the Leeds edition of Look North. In addition, central and southern parts of the Yorkshire Dales receive the Leeds edition of Look North through various relay transmitters. Areas further north such as Wensleydale and some parts of the North York Moors can get a better siginal from the Bilsdale transmitter meaning they receive the Newcastle edition of Look North. Most viewers in Scarborough and Filey receive the Leeds edition from a relay transmitter at Oliver's Mount and in some cases, the Hull edition for East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.
For viewers on Freesat, extreme north areas of North Yorkshire (DL, TS, and YO21/22 postcodes) are allocated the Newcastle edition on both BBC One and ITV1. YO7 and YO62 postcodes are allocated the Leeds edition on BBC One and the Newcastle edition on ITV1. All other postcode areas of North Yorkshire (including York, Scarborough and Harrogate) are allocated the Leeds edition on both BBC One and ITV1.

Famous quotes containing the word area:
“Whatever an artist’s personal feelings are, as soon as an artist fills a certain area on the canvas or circumscribes it, he becomes historical. He acts from or upon other artists.”
—Willem De Kooning (b. 1904)
