Ipswich 102 will take over the 102 FM frequency from Town 102 on Friday, bringing back locally produced radio to Ipswich.
The station will be locally produced 24 hours a day, 7 days week. Presenter led programming will air from 5am to 11pm each weekday.
Ipswich 102 is already broadcasting on DAB on the Suffolk local multiplex, at a much higher than normall bit rate of 198 kbps (stereo). Most networked local stations only broadcast at 128 kbps (stereo), with smaller stations using mono to cut costs.
