ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio Norfolk Special ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ 100 - Auntie in Norfolk The early years of the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ in Norfolk

The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ has been making regular shows from Norwich on radio since 1957 and TV since 1959.

  • The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s first base in Norfolk was a wartime emergency transmitter in Norwich
  • After the war, the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ opened a proper base and transmitting station at Postwick in 1949 - which still exists today
  • The building at Postwick is the original one from 1949, although it hasn't been permanently staffed for many years
  • Postwick wasn't just a transmitting station, people could go there to broadcast into the wider ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ too
  • Another relic of the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s time at Postwick is still kept on the site
  • In September 1956, the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ finally opened up a proper East Anglian radio headquarters at All Saints Green in Norwich
  • The main radio studio at St Catherine's Close on All Saints Green
  • The All Saints Green HQ as seen in the Radio Times in February 1957
  • The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s East Anglian programmes began on February 5 1957
