BBC Radio Oxford, Thames Valley FM

BBC Radio Oxford began talking to the county on 29th October 1970. Little can be traced on the actual station history, however, the first presenter on-air was Mike Dickin, and Bill Rennells was also one of the founder members of staff, before moving on to Radio 2 in 1978.

There was a considerable re-launch of the station from Valentine's Day, February 14th 2000. The station broadcasts on 95.2FM only. BBC Radio Oxford broadcasts from the BBC Oxford Centre at 269 Banbury Road.

The station was renamed BBC Thames Valley FM on 9th April 1996 during a series of cutbacks where some single BBC stations were merged - in this case, BBC Radio Oxford and BBC Radio Berkshire were merged.
