Local News & Information
YO1 Radio & The York Press – Working Together
YO1 Radio is very proud to partner with The York Press - York and North Yorkshire’s long-standing local newspaper. Founded in 1882, the Press has been York’s most authoritative daily news source ever since.
Now, YO1 Radio’s news team will bring you the latest stories from The Press every day. It’s news you can rely on from York’s most trusted source.
A selection of stories will appear here on the YO1 Radio website – and there’s much more online at www.yorkpress.co.uk and in the newspaper itself available at your local newsagent.
Local News Bulletins
YO1 Radio brings you a summary of local news stories from the York Press Newsdesk every weekday from 6am to 6pm.
There is also a summary of local news headlines on the half-hour each day during Griffo in the Morning and Chris Marsden in the Afternoon.
National News
To make sure you can stay up-to-date with what’s happening around the UK and around the world, YO1 Radio also brings you a summary of national news on the hour, every hour, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Weather
You’ll find a 5-day forecast for York and Selby right here on the website – but our presenters will bring you the very latest forecast, after the news, at the start of each hour.
During periods of extreme weather, we will bring you additional weather information – and the latest on school closures and travel disruption.
Travel Information
During the peak ‘rush hour’ periods, YO1 Radio will bring you regular travel bulletins using the latest camera and traffic sensor technology – together with information received from the emergency services, train, bus and other transport operators and our listeners.
We will bring you additional bulletins and information where necessary – for instance, if there is any unusual disruption.
You can help us keep everyone else up-to-date by letting us know about any problems you spot. We can then check for more details and let other listeners know.
You can call the studio on 01904 53 00 43. Leave a message if our on-air team are busy and can’t answer. We monitor messages actively.
Or, you can email studio@yo1radio.co.uk
Alternatively, you can post or send a direct message on our social media @thisisyo1 on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.
