BBC Radio Cambridgeshire is the BBC Local Radio service for the English county of Cambridgeshire. It originally broadcast from studios on Hills Road (A1307) close to the railway station in Cambridge - which have now moved (with the local BBC Look East opt-out) to a new multimillion-pound centre at the Cambridge Business Park on Cowley Road - and a studio on Priestgate in Peterborough. It broadcasts on 96 (Madingley, close to the A428-A1303 junction five miles west of Cambridge) and 95.7 (Morborne, south-west of Peterborough, two miles west of the A1 near Norman Cross) FM, 1026MW (Chesterton Fen, close to the A14 and Fen Ditton north-east of Cambridge), DAB, and via its web page using RealPlayer. It started broadcasting on 1 May 1982 and was originally known as Radio Cambridge.
Chris Morris started his radio career at Radio Cambridgeshire, testing the management's level of humour. Other national broadcasters who started their careers at the station include Matthew Amroliwala (BBC News 24), Nick Barraclough (BBC Radio 2), Ian Peacock (BBC Radio 4), Martin Popplewell (Sky News) and Mark Saggers (talkSPORT).
Under the first manager, Hal Bethell, Radio Cambridgeshire's early broadcasts were restricted to a few hours at breakfast and two hours in the afternoon.
