As part of the BBC all_2gether_now project, BBC Radio Leeds decided to hand over its 774am frequency to five local community groups.

With help, support and training from BBC staff, each group decided what they wanted in their programmes and they learnt how to conduct pre-recorded interviews which they also edited.

The groups also decided who they wanted as guests in the studio on the day.

All the programmes were presented by local people who had been trained by BBC Radio Leeds presenter Andrew Edwards, and they were broadcast live from the new BBC studios in St Peter's Square in Leeds.

Over the five days the voices and the views of the local community were heard by tens of thousands of listeners.
