is an
Independent Local Radio station based at Lockwood Park in
Huddersfield ,
West Yorkshire .
It was originally launched as "Huddersfield FM" by the Minster Sound Radio Group PLC in October 1999.
The station was bought by Radio Investments Limited and
GWR in November 1999, then completely by Radio Investments (now
The Local Radio Company ) in December 2000.
Current presenters at the station include Paul Clark, Mike Nicholson, Chris Stevens, Fiona Faulkner and Tony Collins.
The signal is relatively low power (100w vertical polorization, 100w horizontal polorization) and is broadcast from a transmitter owned by Yorkshire Electricity Distribution PLC (YEDL) at Ainley Top, near the
M62 . The signal power is low to protect the aircraft communication band. The RDS name is ''HOME1079'', the station does not broadcast RDS text.
In January 2007 the station started using a new
Jingle package that was produced by The Bespoke Music Company, as did many other stations owned by The Local Radio Company. To complement the new jingles, the station's strap line was changed from "''music:fun:life''" to "''from Huddersfield, across the Pennines, our home, your station, 107.9 Home FM''".
