BBC Radio Norfolk is the BBC Local Radio service for the English county of Norfolk, broadcasting since 11th September 1980. It broadcasts from its studios in The Forum, Norwich on 95.1 (Stoke Holy Cross), 104.4 (Great Massingham) FM, 855 (Postwick, east Norwich near the A47) kHz, 873 kHz (West Lynn, near the A47 and River Great Ouse) MW, DAB and through the internet using Real Player.
The 95.1FM signal covers the Norwich area, while 104.4FM covers the North and Kings Lynn area. The Great Massingham transmitter also has the commercial station KL.FM 96.7. The Stoke Holy Cross transmitter also has Broadland 102 on 102.4FM and Vibe FM 105-108 on 106.1FM.
From 7pm, BBC local radio stations in the East share the same programme, Nick Lawrence, who broadcasts from Norwich. Keith Skues, the veteran ex-RAF DJ, broadcasts from 10pm until 1am, also from the Norwich studios.
The station should not be confused with the fictional BBC Radio Norwich in the television comedy series I'm Alan Partridge.
