Broadland was one of the second generation of commercial stations, launching in 84 and powering into Norfolk, attaining a simply huge audience reach.

Enjoy it here in 88 and 89, with a suitably relaxed and polished offering as befitted the area, the station and the time. Enjoy the local ads with long-forgotten car models, and the halcyon days where if you got the wrong number of contestants on-air for a quiz, it mattered not. Witness the lovely 'start the day' moment absent from 24 hour stations nowadays, another chance to clean the slate and start again. Hear too mention of the lovely John Warwick , a station stalwart, alas no longer with us. Broadland became Heart in 2009, later merging with what was Radio Orwell, to become Heart East Anglia.
