BBC Radio Jersey

BBC Radio Jersey (Jèrriais: "BBC Radio Jèrri") is the BBC's local radio station serving the Bailiwick of Jersey.
It broadcasts on FM, AM, DAB, digital TV and via BBC Sounds from studios on Parade Road in Saint Helier.
According to RAJAR, the station has a weekly audience of 26,000 listeners and a 8.5% share as of March 2020.
Like other BBC enterprises in Jersey, funding comes primarily from television licence fees collected in Jersey.
History.
The station first aired on 15 March 1982, when it was opened by George Howard, the then chairman of the BBC. The first voice to be hear was that of Peter Gore who was one of the four-person start-up team headed by Mike Warr. It launched from Broadcasting House, just off Rouge Bouillon in St Helier, and moved to its present premises in Parade Road in March 1994.
Roger Bara, a long-standing breakfast show presenter, retired in 2012.
In recent years, local output has been reduced to eight hours on weekdays and four hours on Saturdays, coinciding with an increase in regional programming shared with sister station BBC Radio Guernsey.
In addition to its FM and AM frequencies, the station also broadcasts on Freeview TV channel 719 and streams online via BBC Sounds.
Location.
The radio station shares premises at 18–21 Parade Road in St Helier with BBC Channel Islands television news, and BBC Jersey's online services.
