Minster Northallerton was an Independent Local Radio station based in Northallerton, North Yorkshire, England.[1]

History

Prior to launch, Minster Northallerton was originally known as BTN FM, after the principal towns of the area - Bedale,

OFCOM
and the station launched on 11 June 2007.

The station was later given permission by OFCOM to move into the same building as Alpha Radio in Darlington which is outside of Minster Northallerton's broadcast area and to share some programmes with Alpha Radio. The station was also going to be renamed as Alpha Northallerton.[2][3]

These plans were amended, and the Northallerton service ultimately broadcast

Durham FM. The signal is broadcast on two FM frequencies, a 40 watt signal on 103.5, as well as the former Thirsk relay of sister station Minster FM on 102.3 VHF.[4]

In March 2017, when the other licences which made up Star Radio North East were sold to ViewTV Group and relaunched as

Greatest Hits Radio York and North Yorkshire
.
