Department

It may be one of the smallest local operations in the BBC, but BBC Guernsey is also one of the most successful.

A team of two dozen people produce radio, online and television services to the four islands in the Bailiwick of Guernsey (Guernsey, Alderney, Sark and Herm). Radio programmes consistently deliver the highest audience figures for BBC Local Radio.

The local pages for News Online are written in Guernsey and two television reporters provide material for a ten minute Channel Islands News opt at 6.30pm, as well as bulletins at 8pm and 10.25pm. More than half the team can work across at least two platforms, a handful work across all three.
