A small part of the north of the county is covered by [[BBC East Midlands]] and [[ITV Central]] while a small part of southwest of the county primarily [[Brackley]] and the surrounding villages is covered by [[BBC South]] and [[ITV Meridian]]. ===Radio=== [[BBC Radio Northampton]], broadcasts on two [[FM radio|FM]] frequencies: 104.2 MHz for the south and west of the county (including [[Northampton]] and surrounding area) and 103.6 MHz for the north of the county (including [[Kettering]], [[Wellingborough]] and [[Corby]]). BBC Radio Northampton is situated on Abington Street, Northampton. These services are broadcast from the [[Moulton Park]] & [[Geddington]] transmitters. Some southern parts of the county (including [[Brackley]]) is served by [[BBC Radio Oxford]] broadcasting on 95.2 MHz. There are three commercial radio stations in the county. The former ''Kettering and Corby Broadcasting Company (KCBC)'' station was called Connect Radio (97.2 and 107.4 MHz FM), following a merger with the Wellingborough-based station of the same name. It is now part of [[Smooth East Midlands]]. While both [[Heart East]] (96.6 MHz FM) and [[AM broadcasting|AM]] station [[Gold (British radio network)|Gold]] (1557 kHz) air very little local content as they form part of a national network.
