BBC Radio Jersey

BBC Radio Jersey launched 15th March 1982 to reflect the unique character of the island, with particular focus on the regular sittings of the island's Government, or 'States' every Tuesday. 

The heritage and history of the island are the subject of weekly programmes.  News, views and information starts the day with 'Jersey Today', hosted by the island's Journalist of the Year Roger Bara, reporting and discussing local issues of finance, tourism and agriculture.

Although it may not be expected, travel news is very important with regular updates on the busy airport, situated in the west of the island, plus harbour news focusing on departures and arrivals to and from the UK mainland, other Channel Islands and the French coast. 

There are regular outside broadcasts from the wide range of events such as August's annual 'Battle Of The Flowers' and events from Jersey's entertainments complex, Fort Regent, sitting high over the capital, St. Helier.  Phone-ins include regular debate with island reps, such as vets, lawyers and doctors plus members of local government.  

The arts and sporting scene is particularly prominent on the Island, and this is reflected in weekend programming 'Artyfacts' and 'Sportscene'.  Concerts are recorded for later broadcast throughout the year and there is also live commentary on major sporting events.
