Why AireWharfe?

Aire Wharfe DAB covers South Craven, Worth Valley and Wharfedale, providing local digital radio services across key towns and rural communities in North Yorkshire and West Yorkshire. 

This multiplex is designed to serve areas that are often difficult to reach with larger regional DAB networks due to challenging terrain and lower population density. 

The coverage area includes a mix of market towns, commuter towns and Yorkshire Dales communities, delivering targeted local broadcasting to listeners and businesses across the region.

Based on the multiplex design, Aire Wharfe DAB is focused around three primary towns:

• Skipton 
• Keighley 
• Ilkley  

These locations form the core of the transmission network, ensuring strong coverage in the main population centres while extending service into surrounding villages and rural areas.
