Could be old news:

Half a million Teessiders have got their first new commercial radio station in almost 50 years.
Based in Middlesbrough's BOHO Zone, The Red has been officially launched - 48 years since Radio Tees came into being, and 10 years on from TFM leaving the region for Newcastle.
The Red proudly states it's ‘uber-local’ - concentrating on Middlesbrough and Teesside - and is available on DAB.
It's also brought back the popular Three Legends show to the airwaves, with former Boro star Craig Hignett picking up the microphone to defend the Boro patch.
Owner, ex-SKY man and Boro commentator Dave Roberts said: “It’s been a long road to get to this point with government legislation needing to change, but we’re now here. Teesside has its voice back and we are absolutely thrilled.
“The Red is passionate about Teesside. Presenters must come from or be well associated with Teesside. We love the Boro and are hell bent on talking up the area to up to half a million Teessiders.”
 
Sounds great - if its DAB, does that automatically mean its available online, so people living well away from Teesside can still listen.

btw Radio Tees was owned and started by the Heagney Family (Local Grocery shops until 1999 and Sporting Club in South Bank until 1976).

With the BBC running local radio down - I would expect there is a gap in the market for audience and with regional advertising potential.

They are clearly hoping fans of the three legends will tune in. Im assuming an FM frequency is hard to come by and will be a thing of the past eventually

Was the 3 legends show a 1 off?
