Background to the changes:
Ìý
The new 94.9FM frequency will offer a better signal for Radio Bristol listeners and the switch allows Â鶹Éç Somerset to have an FM frequency of its own.
Ìý
Â鶹Éç Somerset will begin broadcasting on Radio Bristol's old frequency, 95.5FM, on Monday 3 December.
Ìý
These changes bring Â鶹Éç Somerset into line with other Â鶹Éç Local Radio stations that all have their own FM frequencies.
Ìý
This frequency change means that the broadcast area covered by Radio Bristol will reduce for Rajar (Radio Joint Audience Research Ltd) audience figure purposes.
