An Internet-based radio service for rural communities has been launched in the heart of North Yorkshire.
Radio Ryedale is aiming to keep residents of the scenic district informed of events and happenings in the area's towns and villages.
The service was launched on the Net on Thursday night with a series of stories and features, including local accounts of the foot-and-mouth crisis and views on the proposed closure of Pickering courthouse.
