BBC Radio Suffolk
BBC Radio Suffolk is the BBC's local radio station serving the county of Suffolk.
It broadcasts on FM, DAB, digital TV and via BBC Sounds from studios on St Matthews Street in Ipswich.
According to RAJAR, the station has a weekly audience of 97,000 listeners and a 6.7% share as of December 2023.
BBC Radio Suffolk began broadcasting on 12 April 1990. In 2004, it won was named Station of the Year in the Sony Radio Academy Awards.
Significant cuts to BBC Local Radio introduced by Tim Davie during his tenure as Director General of the BBC reduced the content produced in Suffolk to less than a quarter of the station's output in late Summer 2023.
BBC Radio Suffolk broadcasts to north-east Suffolk on 95.5 FM from the Oulton transmitter, East Suffolk on 95.9 FM from the Aldeburgh transmitter, Ipswich and south-east Suffolk on 103.9 FM from the Manningtree transmitter and West Suffolk on 104.6 FM from the Great Barton transmitter.
DAB transmissions from the Suffolk MUX began on 7 October 2017, on digital frequency 10C from Mendlesham (Central Suffolk and Ipswich), Puttock's Hill (Bury St Edmunds), Warren Heath (Ipswich), Felixstowe (Town and Dock area). Due to the low number of masts currently in use, there is a lack of coverage along the Suffolk coast north of Felixstowe to Lowestoft. Sudbury, Newmarket, Haverhill, Lowestoft, Southwold, Beccles and Bungay also have very poor or no DAB coverage of the Suffolk MUX. BBC Radio Suffolk was the penultimate BBC Local Radio station to launch on DAB.
The station was added to Freeview channel 720 in the East of England on 6 June 2016, broadcasting from the Sudbury and Tacolneston transmitters and their dependent relays. The station is also available to stream via BBC Sounds.
