The way Bauer handled the AM services in West Yorkshire is quite interesting, they ended up with Pulse (Bradford) becoming Hits but keeping its brand but moving to Leeds, and Aire (Leeds) as GHR.

With both FM services covering most of the patch (Ridings FM in Wakefield as a filler) on FM and all of it on DAB, the AM services (and shiny new Bradford studio building) were redundant.

Arqiva don't seem to be in any hurry to sell off redundant sites, although I guess a lot were leased corners of a farmer's field rather than owned, but the likes of Farnley (Radio Leeds 774AM) was such a long-standing site it would have been BBC owned and passed to Arqiva through the various buy outs?
