BBC Radio Bristol

BBC Radio Bristol is the BBC's local radio station serving the cities of Bristol and Bath and the unitary authorities of Bath and North East Somerset, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire.

It broadcasts on FM, DAB, digital TV and via BBC Sounds from studios at Broadcasting House in Bristol.

According to RAJAR, the station has a weekly audience of 88,000 listeners as of May 2025. The worst performer of all BBC local stations.

BBC Radio Bristol broadcasts on FM frequencies 94.9 MHz (Dundry), 104.6 MHz (Bath), 103.6 MHz (Weston-super-Mare), and on DAB.

The Mendip transmitter, near Wells, used to broadcast BBC Radio Bristol on 95.5 MHz over a very large area but, from 3 December 2007, this was transferred to the new BBC Somerset service. Since the BBC relaunched BBC Somerset on FM, BBC Radio Bristol has been left free to concentrate editorially on Bristol, Bath and the rest of the former Avon area.

On 11 December 2014, the station launched on Freeview channel 711, on the PSB 1 multiplex from the Mendip transmitter and its TV relays. The station also streams online via BBC Sounds.

The AM transmitter at Mangotsfield on 1548 kHz was closed in February 2016.

Weekday programming is produced and broadcast from the BBC's Bristol studios from 6 am to 2 pm each day. The afternoon programme is shared with BBC Radio Somerset.
