The offices have the appearance of a converted house. The only indication, that it is something other than that, are the words "BBC Somerset" and its broadcast frequencies of 95.5FM and 1566AM.
During severe storms in 1978 an emergency broadcasting centre was set up at County Hall in Taunton. Listeners decided they wanted their own radio station for the Somerset area. Eventually, 10 years later, BBC Somerset Sound was born. The radio station hit the airwaves for the first time on 11 April 1988. At that time, its main studios were based in Taunton with a smaller studio in Yeovil.
