BBC Radio Wiltshire and Radio Swindon
BBC Radio Wiltshire, Swindon and Wiltshire Sound
BBC local radio came to Wiltshire on 4th April 1989.
BBC local radio for the region has been based around separate services for Swindon and Wiltshire.
In 2002, the BBC made funding available to enhance the service. On Monday 11th November 2002 BBC Wiltshire Sound became two separate services, BBC Radio Wiltshire & BBC Radio Swindon. Familiar voices Peter Heaton-Jones and Dan Chisholm remain on BBC Radio Swindon and Sue Davies and Mark Seaman feature on BBC Radio Wiltshire with Graham Seaman presenting an afternoon show. A local man, Mark Jones, from Marlborough has returned to his homeland to present the Wiltshire Drive show with station regular for over 12months, Rachael Hodges.
Swindon meanwhile features Ashley Heath on Drivetime from 4pm featuring Brinkworth's Sam Ryder with news and information. Swindon listeners who prefer a more county-wide service can tune to the Wiltshire service.
BBC Radio Wiltshire can be heard on 104.3 for Chippenham & West Wiltshire, Salisbury & The South can hear the station on 103.5 & Marlborough & East listeners have a transmitter at 104.9. There are also two AM frequencies - 1368KHz for Swindon & 1332KHz for Chippenham and the West of the County. BBC Radio Swindon has it's service on 103.6 for Swindon only. .
