Before a station gets a recommendation
Signal before hype
Heard, then written
A stream earns its write-up by being listened to at the hours you would actually have it on.
Plain words about reception
Notes on a receiver or an app stay in the language of sound, signal and handling rather than a copied spec sheet.
Free and legal, said so
When a station is free to hear and legal to play, the guide says where the feed comes from instead of leaving you guessing.
About
A listening magazine, not a station
Yorkshire Radio Mag is written for the evening question: what is worth streaming, and what should it come out of. It starts with stations, schedules and podcasts, and widens into the receivers, speakers and apps that carry them.
