History of BBC Radio Jersey
BBC Radio Jersey was launched on March 15th 1982 and was one of a new wave of BBC local radio stations serving distinct communities across the British Isles. It wasn’t long before the station developed a large and loyal following which it still enjoys. The style and sound of the station has changed over the years, but bringing you the latest local news and holding the island’s decision-makers to account remains at the heart of all we do. Presenters still synonymous with the station include Roger Bara, Fiona Spurr, Murray Norton and the late John Uphoff.
