About HG1 Radio
HG1 Radio was an online radio station serving the Harrogate area in North Yorkshire, United Kingdom. Listeners could listen live to a mix of music from the 1960s to the present day, alongside local news, information, and community-focused programming. The station was launched in July 2020 by YO1 Enterprises, the parent company behind York's YO1 Radio, with the aim of providing a local commercial service for the town.
The station operated as a digital service, broadcasting online and through smart speakers and apps. It featured a schedule of specialist shows on weeknights and weekends, presented by a team of local broadcasters. While it aimed to apply for an FM broadcast license in the future, HG1 Radio remained an internet-based station throughout its operation, allowing audiences to stream online from its dedicated website and various platforms.
HG1 Radio ceased broadcasting in May 2021 after nine months on air, with its parent company citing commercial difficulties. The station's live streaming service was discontinued, and its website redirected to YO1 Radio. During its run, it provided an alternative local service for Harrogate, offering music, news, and competitions, and had established a studio in the town before its closure. The station enabled listeners to enjoy its curated mix and listen radio online until its final broadcast.
