Latest News

As some of our listeners may be aware, last year Future Radio was awarded a larger Norwich-wide licence by radio regulators Ofcom after we applied to increase our coverage further across the city.

We're pleased to say the necessary technical plans and clearance are now underway and a late spring relaunch looks like it will be confirmed in due course.

the increased Norwich-wide licence will see Future Radio reach an estimated 40,000 extra listeners, as well as providing a stronger signal in our existing coverage areas - a new frequency will be confirmed soon so we'll also be sending out lots of new car stickers in the months ahead + information on how you can retune your dial to find us on our new and improved frequency.

More updates as they come in, but not long to go now...! 

Future Radio are pleased to announce 'Platform Unplugged' a live event which celebrates the best of the Platform arts show from the last two years, taking place on March 20th at the Norwich Playhouse. 

The event will be also be celebrating the forthcoming relaunch of Future Radio on an increased licence later this year - and will feature 40+ artists performing live comedy, music, drama, poetry and more over the evening.

Contributors confirmed include Soapbox, Norfolk & Norwich Festival, Crude Apache, Bonanafana, The Ferries, Acoustic & Eclectic, John Osborne and many more.

Tickets are on sale now via the U.E.A. and Theatre Royal and watch out for full details on the Future Radio website coming soon!

New pop out player

We have developed a new pop out player which you can use instead of listening in I-Tunes or Windows Media Player (if you prefer). It's still in 'beta' version at the moment, but try it out (see diagram below for where to find the player) and let us know what you think.
