BBC Radio Norfolk was launched at 5:55 pm on 11 September 1980 – the first BBC local radio station to launch in East Anglia and the first station to be launched after a gap of several years in the corporation's local radio development programme, due to the Government's review of ... See more local radio (both BBC and independent services) in the late 1970s. Up until the station's opening, BBC Radio 4 broadcast a daily news magazine show, Roundabout East Anglia, on the local VHF frequencies for two hours each morning. Radio Norfolk was one of the first BBC local stations to be based around a county, rather than a town or city; it was also the first to broadcast in stereo (though only to East Norfolk; the remainder of the county had to wait until 2005 for stereo broadcasts). The station's first presenter on-air was John Mountford and the launch was broadcast live on the regional news programme, Look East. Originally, Radio Norfolk was based at a former carpet showroom in Norfolk Tower on Surrey Street, Norwich and was the first BBC local station to broadcast in stereo and to cover a whole county. Due to the policy of launching only one local radio service at a time in a particular area, when it came to choosing whether Norfolk or Devon would receive a BBC or commercial station first, there was contention between the BBC and the Independent Broadcasting Authority (IBA) as to who would get which area. This was settled by the toss of a coin, with the BBC winning and choosing Norfolk. The IBA therefore got Devon, who appointed DevonAir Radio.
