You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''BBC Radio Tees''' is the [[Local BBC Radio|BBC's local radio station]] serving the [[Tees Valley]] and the northern parts of North Yorkshire, including [[Whitby]]. It broadcasts on [[frequency modulation|FM]], [[Digital Audio Broadcasting|DAB]], digital TV and via [[BBC Sounds]] from studios on Newport Road in [[Middlesbrough]].

According to [[RAJAR]], the station has a weekly audience of 100,000 listeners and a 4.4% share as of December 2023.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.rajar.co.uk/listening/quarterly_listening.php|title=RAJAR|publisher=RAJAR|access-date=26 September 2022))</ref>

==History==
[[File:BBC Radio Cleveland - Middlesbrough (742464623).jpg|thumb|left|200px|BBC Radio Cleveland - Middlesbrough in 2007]]
===BBC Radio Teesside===
The station was originally launched as Radio Teesside at 6&nbsp;pm on 31 December 1970 with a local news programme entitled ''Teesside Tonight'', presented by George Lambelle.

===BBC Radio Cleveland===
On 1 April 1974, the station became known as Radio Cleveland when the [[county of Cleveland]] was formed. The station moved to new studios in 1983. On 1 April 1996, the county of Cleveland was abolished and the boroughs of [[Stockton-on-Tees (borough)|Stockton-on-Tees]], [[Hartlepool (borough)|Hartlepool]], [[Middlesbrough (borough)|Middlesbrough]], and [[Redcar and Cleveland]] were returned to County Durham and North Yorkshire. These four boroughs, along with nearby [[Darlington (borough)|Darlington]], now form the governmental sub-region of [[Tees Valley]]. Also included in the main coverage area is the [[British Army|Army]]'s main garrison at [[Catterick Garrison]], which is also included in the transmission area of [[BBC Radio York|Radio York]] on 104.3 [[FM broadcasting|FM]].

===BBC Tees===
[[File: BBC Tees.png|thumb|Former logo]]
On Saturday 11 August 2007, the station was renamed BBC Tees. The BBC Tees brand was already associated with its "Where I Live" website and "BBC Bus", which have both since been discontinued.

===BBC Radio Tees===
On 27 January 2020, the station was renamed BBC Radio Tees. The addition of "radio" to the names of most BBC local radio stations was to avoid confusion with its similarly named TV news regions.

[[Colin Bunyan]] is currently the longest-serving presenter at BBC Radio Tees, hosting the Sunday afternoon Vintage Vinyl programme. He has been a presenter for over 47 years.<ref>((cite web |last=Hodgson |first=Barbara |date=19 August 2014 |title=Teesside's king of the airwaves Colin Bunyan is still making waves at 70 |url=https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/teesside-news/teessides-king-airwaves-colin-bunyan-7584716?int_source=amp_continue_reading&int_medium=amp&int_campaign=continue_reading_button#amp-readmore-target |accessdate=10 August 2014 |publisher=Teesside Live))</ref>

==Technical==
Before moving to [[Eston Nab]], the signal on 95 [[FM broadcasting|FM]] originally was relatively strong and originated from the 900-foot [[Bilsdale transmitting station|Bilsdale transmitter]] on the [[North York Moors]]. A relay transmitter covering the town of [[Whitby]] broadcasts on 95.8 FM.

The [[Digital Audio Broadcasting|DAB]] signals come from the [[Bauer Radio|Bauer]] 11B multiplex at [[Eston]] Nab (near the [[A174 road]]) and Brusselton (near [[Shildon]] between the [[A68 road|A68]] and A6072).

On 10 August 2021, FM transmission was knocked off air indefinitely following a fire at the [[Bilsdale]] site. It is feared that the structural integrity of the transmitter mast may have been compromised.<ref>((cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tees-58169501|title=Bilsdale transmitter fire: TV and radio for 1m off air indefinitely|work=BBC News|date=11 August 2021|accessdate=11 August 2021))</ref>  As at 11 August 2021, the 95 FM service is available again, using the Eston Nab transmitter, but it does not reach all areas of the station's transmission area.<ref>((cite tweet|number=1425510904108658688|user=BBCTees|title=Arqiva has installed a temporary...|date=11 August 2021))</ref> A temporary transmitter on 104.0 FM has also been instated for [[Darlington]] and the surrounding areas.<ref>((cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/reception/work-warning/news/waw-problems-with-television-sand-radio-services-in-north-yorkshire-and-teeside/|title=Problems with television and radio services in North Yorkshire and Teesside|work=BBC News|date=1 October 2021|accessdate=1 October 2021))</ref>

The station also broadcasts on [[Freeview (UK)|Freeview]] TV channel 722 and streams online via [[BBC Sounds]].

The station was also broadcast on [[medium wave]] until 1992.

==Programming==
Local programming is produced and broadcast from the BBC's [[Middlesbrough]] studios from 6&nbsp;am to 10&nbsp;pm each day.

From 10&nbsp;pm each night, BBC Radio Tees carries the England-wide late show and from 1&nbsp;am, it simulcasts [[BBC Radio 5 Live]] and [[BBC Radio London]].
