Transmission
Two of the three AM frequencies were originally to be switched off by April 2007 and replaced by FM transmitters in Skipton, Ilkley, Pateley Bridge, Settle, Richmond and Grassington. The FM transmitter for Richmond on 102.6FM commenced broadcasts on 11 February 2007 on 102.6FM, however the rollout elsewhere was delayed, and AM kept being broadcast in Richmond, alongside the FM frequency.
The Ilkley transmitter also began broadcasting on 107.1FM as of 18 February 2007, a frequency also used by the former AM Pateley Bridge transmitter, while AM broadcasting continued on 936AM covering Wensleydale, 1413AM from Skipton and 1431AM from Settle.
The station's main studio was based at Broughton Hall near Skipton. Fresh Radio broadcasted to an area of approximately 2,000 square miles (5,200 km2) to an adult population of around 200,000 people.
Its coverage area was, broadly, bounded by the M6 motorway to the West, the A1 to the East, the A66 to the North and the towns of Skipton, Keighley and Ilkley to the South.
