"BBC Radio Stoke is the local radio service for Stoke, Staffordshire and South Cheshire. It came to air at 5pm on Thursday 14th March 1968 as BBC Radio Stoke-On-Trent.
Radio Stoke has always had its base in Hanley town centre. Even when the need for computerisation and a more sustainable office area forced a move from the old Conway House building, the station only moved 100 yards - to its present base at the BBC Centre at the other end of Cheapside by Albion Square.

In June 2002, the BBC moved its county HQ into a brand spanking-new building in the centre of Stoke-on-Trent's Cultural Quarter at Cheapside, Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent. Formerly, this was the Hanley Economic Building Society, and before that, the building is believed to have been a school. The new building was opened by HRH Princess Anne & the Director General of the BBC, Greg Dyke on Tuesday 23rd July 2002.
The original Radio Stoke building is still occupied by a local radio station - Cross Rhythms City Radio.
