RADIO RADAR - (LEEDS) 104.5MHz

Radio Radar operated in Leeds from around 1985 to 1987.  It is thought to have had links to an earlier station, Radio 104, which broadcast from the same area around Morley during 1984.

RADIO VERONICA - (BRADFORD) 104.9MHz / 105.5MHz

Radio Veronica operated on FM from a high location west of Bradford from mid 1986 to early 1988.  The station courted controversy in some quarters with some of its late night discussions around the kitchen table.  The signal, often using over 100 watts, travelled far and wide, being regularly heard near Blackpool. The station ceased broadcasting in February 1988 following near misses with the DTI, and also apparently due to 'anoraks' turning up in the street in the early hours disturbing the neighbours.
