Page "BBC Coventry & Warwickshire" Paragraph 38

" I'm very pleased to announce that we're planning to open a new radio station in Coventry-an area that's been served by BBC WM since 1995.

We hope the new station will be housed in a modern, vibrant building close to Coventry Cathedral in the heart of the city.

Alongside the radio studios, there'll also be an open centre to provide access to BBC Learning facilities similar to the already established centres in Blackburn, Sheffield and Stoke.

Open Centres provide a valuable community role, so this is an exciting venture for the BBC.
