成人快手

Listeners decided they wanted their own radio station for the Somerset area.

Eventually, 10 years later, 成人快手 Somerset Sound was born.

The radio station hit the airwaves for the first time on 11 April 1988.

At that time, its main studios were based at Paul Street in Taunton with a smaller studio in Yeovil.

In August 2002, 成人快手 Somerset Sound moved to state-of-the-art studios opposite County Hall in Taunton.

In the same year, it also changed frequency from 1323AM to 1566AM to avoid interference from a Russian radio station.

In December 2007, it was launched on 95.5fm making it available to people all over the county and beyond.

成人快手 Somerset, as it is now known, is the only local speech-based radio station and covers the shire county.

The station provides all the latest news and information for the county, and the shows are a lively mix of guests, debate, competitions, music and features.

In February 2003, the 成人快手's Where I Live website for Somerset at bbc.co.uk/somerset was launched.

From May 2007, the 成人快手 Somerset Bus is on the road. Its role across the county is manifold, including:

• To bring 成人快手 Somerset out into local communities across the county
• To help to improve what people in the county want from their local radio station, and from the 成人快手 in general
• To promote the major 成人快手 campaigns, such as the Reading and Writing project (RaW) and Springwatch and Autumnwatch among many others
• To feedback to the 成人快手 any brickbats and bouquets - from listeners/viewers who might not usually have the chance to comment
• To broadcast live shows around Somerset from a town or village near you
