North Norfolk Radio (NNR) is a radio station formerly based on the Stody Estate, near Briston, Norfolk in the United Kingdom. It broadcast from Breck Farm, Stody, Norfolk, England, from a converted milking parlour and was said to be the UK's only radio station based in a building with a thatched straw roof. From 9 January 2017, all programming is now produced in Norwich
North Norfolk Radio is owned by the Anglian Radio Group, who own many stations in the UK, including NNR's neighbouring stations The Beach in Lowestoft, Suffolk and 99.9 Radio Norwich (not to be confused with the fictional station of the same name - see Alan Partridge) in Norfolk's only city.
North Norfolk Radio came about following several groups campaigning for a dedicated radio service for the area. Some of these groups, who ran restricted service licence (RSL) trial stations, included 106.9 FTR-FM (Fakenham - August 1997), Fakenham Community Radio (April/May 1999), Wensum FM (East Dereham - 3 trials between October 1999 & June 2001), Central Norfolk Radio (Fakenham - 5 trials between April 1999 & May 2001), Escape FM (Sheringham - July/August 2000) and Tindles own 87.7 The Beach* (North Walsham - Christmas 2000 & Holt, Norfolk - June 2001). Note: * 87.7 The Beach was the trial stand alone station, not the full-time 103.4 service nor a relay of it.
On 14 November 2002 the Radio Authority formally advertised a new local commercial radio licence for the coastal area of North Norfolk, covering Wells-next-the-Sea and Cromer, and inland to include Fakenham. Potential applicants had around 16 weeks to put their proposals on paper and send them back to the Radio Authority.
