A radio station in Harrogate has found a new home thanks to a partnership with a local business.

HG1 Radio has set up a studio in Doors Direct's showroom on Claro Road, ready to welcome its team when covid restrictions allow.

Once the studios have been fully commissioned and tested, the presenters will be able to host their shows ‘live’ from the new base.  Managing director Dave Parker said:

“As soon as we are able to do so, we will be operating very much on an ‘open house’ basis for other local businesses and community groups to pay us a visit to see how everything works and to meet the team behind the station.
"It is frustrating that we can’t hold a launch event open day at the moment – but rest-assured the invites will be going out just as soon as it is safe and sensible to do so.”

HG1 Radio has been on the air since July 2020, with its presenters currently working from home studios. It broadcasts online and via apps and media players, but is hoping to move onto DAB in the future.

Doors Direct, meanwhile, has been based on Claro Road for 21 of its 40 years in business. Owner Sean Clarke said he was looking forward to allowing customers to see the new studio, which includes some of the company's products in its construction. He added:

“It is really exciting to have a radio station based within our business. It adds a whole new dimension to everything – and I’m looking forward to being able to show it off to customers and other businesses."
