DAB Digital Radio
Minster FM is available on the North Yorkshire DAB multiplex broadcasting from transmitters at Bilsdale, Acklam Wold, Oliver's Mount and Hildebrand Barracks.
If you're having trouble finding us on your DAB radio, you may need to perform a rescan to pick up all local stations. This is often labelled as 'Autotune' on your radio. If you still can't receive us, try performing a 'Full Scan'. It may also help to move your radio to a different position and trying rescanning again. Radio signals tend to be stronger higher up and near windows. Refer to your radio's instruction manual for details on how to rescan, as models vary. If your radio supports manual tuning, you can find the North Yorkshire DAB multiplex on frequency block 10C.
