About BBC Suffolk
BBC Radio Suffolk is the BBC's local radio station for Suffolk, bringing listeners local news, travel, weather, sport and conversation from Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds, Lowestoft, Felixstowe, Sudbury and the market towns and villages across the county. On this page you can listen to BBC Suffolk live online for free.
Suffolk's own BBC station
BBC Radio Suffolk began broadcasting on 12 April 1990 from Ipswich. Before then, Suffolk had been served by neighbouring BBC stations, so its launch gave the county its own BBC voice for the first time. Over more than three decades it has become a familiar companion for people across Suffolk, known for warm presenters, strong local news and close links with its communities, from the coast to the countryside.
What you will hear
Breakfast and drive-time programmes bring the latest headlines, travel news for the A12, A14, the Orwell Bridge and local roads, rail updates and weather forecasts. Through the day, phone-ins and interviews cover the issues that matter in Suffolk, from health, housing and transport to farming, the port of Felixstowe and the coast. Sport is a big part of the station, with coverage of Ipswich Town and other local teams, and evenings and weekends feature music, specialist programmes and conversation. The station is also an important source of information during floods, storms and road closures.
