BBC Radio Suffolk

BBC Radio Suffolk started transmissions on 12th April 1990. Studios are based at Broadcasting House, St. Matthew's Street, Ipswich.

 

The station claims to be the most popular local radio service in the county, and can be heard on 103.9, 104.6, 95.5 and it's new transmitter on 95.9 to serve the county's Heritage Coast after a wait of 12 years.

The installation of the new transmission facility was not without problems. The Netherlands Government objected to the plans on the basis they feared that it would interfere with Dutch stations - there were also some technical difficulties surrounding the new frequency. However, the all-clear was given after a month's worth of testing.

The new transmitter has helped greatly to expand the potential audience with one Leiston resident previously having to put her radio on top of a wardrobe to pick up the station. Not anymore!
