Radio Stations in Livingston
Livingston, in West Lothian, sits about halfway between Edinburgh and Glasgow and is around 20 km from its nearest transmitters – Braid Hills in Edinburgh to the east, and Kirk O'Shotts and Black Hill to the west – so an outdoor aerial helps on FM.
Its position gives it a better signal than towns further west for Forth 1, the Edinburgh station. BBC Radio Scotland is the BBC station, and DAB comes from the Central Scotland, Edinburgh and Glasgow multiplexes.
