BBC Radio Sheffield began broadcasting in 1967 from studios in Broomhill, a suburb of Sheffield. In Summer 2001, the station moved to a new purpose build complex in the centre of Sheffield, in an area known as the Cultural Industries Quarter. As well as the radio station, the new building houses a BBC Learning Zone, where members of the public can use computer facilities and the internet, and take part in courses.
