BBC Radio Lincolnshire
BBC Radio Lincolnshire is the BBC's local radio station serving most of the county of Lincolnshire.
It broadcasts on FM, DAB, digital TV and via BBC Sounds from studios near Newport Arch in Lincoln.
According to RAJAR, the station has a weekly audience of 73,000 listeners as of May 2025.
A BBC national broadcasting site covering the area had opened at the Corporation's Stamp End Depot on Thursday 8 March 1951 and carried an opt-out programme 'News from the North'.
Almost three decades later, on 11 November 1980 at 7 am, the county got its own station when BBC Radio Lincolnshire opened with a commissioned peal of bells from Lincoln Cathedral with the first words spoken coming from Nick Brunger: "And it's a warm welcome for the first time to the programmes of BBC Radio Lincolnshire."
In 1988, the station commissioned UK jingle producer Alfasound to compose a jingle package based on the traditional English folk song The Lincolnshire Poacher, continuing on this theme until 2006.
For most of its first decade on air, BBC Radio Lincolnshire did not broadcast during the evening and simulcast BBC Radio 2 from around 7 pm on weekdays and 5 pm at the weekend. However, the end of the 1980s saw BBC Local Radio begin weeknight programmes with stations broadcasting a mostly regional, rather than local, service, networked on all the stations in that area. BBC Radio Lincolnshire broadcast its own programmes until 9 pm before joining with the other East Midlands stations to air a late show which broadcast from 9 pm until midnight. However evening programming at the weekend didn't begin until many years later and the station still handed over to BBC Radio 5 Live mid-evening at the weekend until well into the 2000s.
In 2006, BBC Radio Lincolnshire conducted a six-month trial of XDA pocket-PCs for the BBC, using Technica Del Arte's Luci mobile (on the hoof) interviewing application.
