| Ipswich Community Radio (ICR FM) launched in 2007 from a site at Suffolk College in Ipswich. This was shown as TM170443 in the licence application but has also been given as TM169443 in other documentation. The site was described as the roof of a 25m building which had been used for a number of Restricted Service Licence operations As a result of major re-development at the College site - including demolition of the tower block - the station transferred to a school in the Chantry area, just south west of central Ipswich. We understand the new site came into operation on 2 November 2010. It seems the school was at one point affiliated with the College so this may have influenced the choice of replacement site. Move forward to 2025 after a considerable amount of discussion and legalitys the Tx was moved once again to its new location on the roof of the maternity building at Ipswich Hospital, the Eastern side of the town. ICR was also given permission by Ofcom to increase its power from 25 Watt to 50 Watt greatly increasing its reach to such areas as Kesgrave, Martlesham etc |
