BBC Radio Norfolk is the BBC Local Radio service for the English county of Norfolk, broadcasting since 11 September 1980. It broadcasts from the studios of BBC East in The Forum, Norwich on 95.1 FM (Stoke Holy Cross), 104.4 FM (Great Massingham), 95.6 FM (West Runton, near Cromer), 855 kHz AM/MW (Postwick, east Norwich near the A47), 873 kHz AM/MW (West Lynn, near the A47 and River Great Ouse), DAB and through the internet using BBC iPlayer. The station has regularly been one of the most listened-to on the BBC Local Radio network, as highest-rated in mainland England in 2003 and 2006. In 1986, the mid-morning programme ''The Norfolk Airline'' won the Sony Award for Best Magazine Programme, and the station won its second Radio Academy Award 28 years later in 2014, for Local Radio Journalist of the Year. The station should not be confused with the fictional Radio Norwich in the television comedy series ''I'm Alan Partridge'', or the commercial station 99.9 Radio Norwich. ==History== BBC Radio Norfolk launched at 5:55 pm on 11 September 1980. It was the first BBC local station in East Anglia and the first after a gap of several years in the corporation's local radio development, due to the Government's review of local radio (both BBC and independent services) in the late 1970s. Due to the policy of launching only one local radio service at a time in a particular area, when it came to choosing whether Norfolk or Devon would receive a BBC or commercial station first, there was contention between the BBC and the Independent Broadcasting Authority (IBA) as to who would get which area. This was settled by the toss of a coin, the BBC winning and choosing Norfolk. The IBA got Devon and appointed DevonAir Radio. For several years until the launch of Radio Norfolk, BBC East had broadcast a morning radio programme, ''Roundabout East Anglia'', a regional opt-out from the ''Today'' programme on BBC Radio 4.〔 However, this had a larger editorial area than any BBC local station, being heard across the same region as the BBC's ''Look East'' regional television news programme.〔 Like ''Look East'', ''Roundabout East Anglia'' also broadcast from BBC East's regional headquarters at All Saint's Green in Norwich.〔 Radio Norfolk was one of the first BBC stations to be based on a county, rather than a town; it was also first to broadcast in stereo (though only to East Norfolk; the remainder of the county had to wait until 2005). Initially, there was insufficient budget for a full schedule; the station had a breakfast show, a two-hour show at midday and then an extended five o'clock news and sports bulletin, while using BBC Radio 2 outside these times. There was, however, a full local service at weekends, when it was assumed more listeners would be available.〔 After Keith Salmon took over as the station's managing editor in 1982, full local programmes began on weekdays.〔 Originally, Radio Norfolk was at a former carpet showroom in Norfolk Tower on Surrey Street in Norwich. The station's first presenter on air was John Mountford and the launch was simulcast live on ''Look East''. Mountford was one of several former ''Roundabout East Anglia'' personnel who transferred to the new station following that programme's demise.〔''Taking the Norfolk Air'', pages 10–11〕 The station moved to The Forum in Norwich in June 2003. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「BBC Radio Norfolk」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
