[edit] Studio facilities

BBC Radio Humberside has studios at Queen's Court, Queen's Gardens in Hull. Additional studios are located at Victoria Street in Grimsby from where Lara King presents her weekday morning programme.[2]

[edit] Technical

BBC Radio Humberside broadcasts to East Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire on 95.9 FM (High Hunsley), 1485 AM (Paull, east Hull), DAB and the internet using Real Player. It also broadcasts Viking FM on 96.9 FM (Radio Humberside's old frequency), Galaxy Yorkshire on 105.8 FM and BBC National DAB (since 20 April 2006).

The FM transmitter, between Beverley and South Cave 500 ft. up on the Yorkshire Wolds is quite powerful over the relatively flat surrounding area being heard clearly in most of South Yorkshire as well. The signal reaches right across to the highest point of the M62 near junction 22 with the A672, the highest point of the A66, much of Lincolnshire, and as far south as Nottingham on the M1, near the Trowell service station and Newark. It also broadcasts Viking FM on 96.9 FM (Radio Humberside's old frequency), Galaxy Yorkshire on 105.8 FM and BBC National DAB (since 20 April 2006).

The Paull transmitter also broadcasts Absolute Radio on 1215 MW and TalkSPORT on 1053 MW.

The DAB signals come from the EMAP Humberside 11B multiplex from three transmitters at Cave Wold (most powerful, three miles south of High Hunsley, and a BT microwave transmitter which also has the MXR Yorkshire multiplex), Buckton Barn (Bridlington, also has Yorkshire Coast Radio on 102.4) and Bevan Flats (Grimsby, also transmits Compass FM on 96.4). There is no FM transmitter on the south bank, but there is a DAB transmitter in Grimsby.[3]

[edit] Jingles

In the past BBC Radio Humberside have used David Arnold Music for their Jingles. As of August 2005, the station began using a custom made package featuring the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, it was produced by S2Blue in Cheshire. BBC Radio Humberside were responsible for its artistic commissioning and for the eventual shape and construction of the idents. The package was re-sung for BBC Radio Nottingham and the instrumental versions are currently used on BBC Radio Merseyside. The package was topped up in late 2006 to introduce the "Great Place for a Great Station" strap-line and to freshen the set up. In autumn 2008 a further refresh was introduced with new sings for key daytime programmes and presenters.[4]
