About This Station

**Drystone Radio** is a community radio station serving Craven, the Wharfe Valley, Aire/Wharfe, Bradford, and East Lancashire, broadcasting on 103.5 FM and 102 FM as well as DAB+. Established in 1998 as a charity, it is a not-for-profit station run for the benefit of the local community, with all funds reinvested into broadcasting and a training scheme for those learning about radio. The schedule features a mix of music and talk, including daytime shows with local information, traffic news and quizzes, a weekday local news round-up with Thomas Adam, and specialist programmes such as *The Rock Show* and a show on employment law and health and safety. Presenters play a wide-ranging playlist—from Dolly Parton to Sophie Ellis-Bextor—and the station also offers a volunteer programme, a listen-live app, and regular local weather and news bulletins. The website highlights its focus on community involvement, local issues, and supporting anyone interested in getting involved in broadcasting.
