  • BBC Radio Bristol is the BBC Local Radio service for the English city of Bristol and the surrounding former Avon area. Launched in September 1970, it broadcasts from its studios in Bristol on FM frequencies 94.9 MHz (Dundry), 104.6 MHz, 103.6 MHz, on AM 1548 kHz and on DAB. The Mendip transmitter, near Wells, used to broadcast BBC Radio Bristol on 95.5 MHz over a very large area, but from 3 December 2007, this was transferred to the new BBC Somerset service. BBC Somerset and BBC Radio Bristol share many programmes, mainly during off-peak hours. Since the BBC relaunched BBC Somerset on FM, BBC Radio Bristol has been left free to concentrate editorially on Bristol, Bath and the rest of the former Avon area. In September 2006, Radio Bristol re-launched its weekday schedule. Long-serving presenter, John Turner, moved to Breakfast, Dave Barrett returned to the station to take over mid-morning and Richard Lewis moved to afternoons. Since the reshuffle, John Turner has retired and former ITV West presenter Richard Wyatt has taken over the breakfast programme - although he has announced he will leave in the summer of 2009. He has been replaced by Steve LeFevre. Evening output from Radio Bristol is shared with BBC local radio stations in the BBC West region. Keith Warmington, presents between 7pm and 10pm with an arts and entertainment show,. Trevor Fry presents a show between 10pm and 1am. Radio Bristol's main competitors in the Bristol area are Heart Bristol on 96.3 MHz, Original 106.5 (Bristol) and Star Radio (Bristol). In Bath, Radio Bristol faces competition from Heart Bath on 103 MHz and Bath FM on 107.9 MHz. In Weston-super-Mare (which is editorially covered by both Radio Bristol and BBC Somerset), competition comes from Star Radio (Weston). Kate Adie produced and presented programmes for BBC Radio Bristol in the 1970s alongside Michael Buerk. Theirs were the first two voices to be heard on the station. Chris Morris was also part of the team. Other past presenters include the late Roger Bennett who presented the Breakfast Show, Morning West for 30 years and Susan Osman who co-hosted Points West for 14 years. Current editor, Tim Pemberton took over from Jenny Lacey in spring 2006.
