Harrogate MP writes to media bosses to seek assurances over Stray FM
Andrew Jones has written to the parent company of Stray FM to seek reassurances over the radio station's future.
In a post on his website, the Harrogate and Knaresborough MP said he was "disappointed" that Bauer Media's "winning formula is set to change."
Bauer announced five days ago that Stray FM, which has covered the district since 1994, will come off the air and become Greatest Hits Radio. There will be a regional drivetime show for Yorkshire and Lincolnshire but the majority of the programming will follow the national schedule.
Last week, there was a huge outcry on social media from people who have fond memories of the radio station.
That led the Liberal Democrats to launch a petition last week calling for Bauer Media to reverse its decision to replace Stray FM with a national radio station.
