Location

BBC Radio Humberside has studios at Queen's Court, Queen's Gardens in Hull. It also has a studio at Victoria Street in Grimsby which is where Lara King presents her weekday morning programme.

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.

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 DAB National (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.

Simon Pattern is the station's managing editor with Derek McGill as assistant editor.
