History of Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio Somerset
Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Somerset was officially launched on April 11th, 1988 – although it had started life 10 years earlier as an emergency service following storms in the county. Originally based in studios above a café in Paul Street, Taunton, the station has steadily expanded, and moved into Park Street in 2002. It has a loyal and enthusiastic following, and while the station’s style and sound has developed over the years, Somerset remains at the heart of everything we do.
