BBC Radio Suffolk is now being heard "loud and clear" on digital radio.

It was officially launched on DAB at 09:20 this morning.

The switchover came 20 years after digital radio first hit the UK.

David Butcher, BBC Radio Suffolk's engineer, said the county had to wait for a local multiplex network, external to be built.

He said local commercial stations, that drive local multiplexes, had " lost their appetite" until now.

The multiplex is owned by MuxCo, external.

A warning - there are still spots in the county where the digital signal does not reach.

Andrew Keep's family issued a tribute to the 22-year-old shortly after his death on 29 January. 

Mr Keep, from Great Bealings, died after the Honda Prelude he was driving was in collision with a Ford C-Max on the B1084 road, a short distance from the junction of the A1152 road. 

In a statement issued a few days later, his family described the vehicle technician as "hugely missed" and a loyal and trusted friend as well as loving son and brother. 

They said: "His pride and joy was his Honda Prelude, which he lovingly rebuilt. Sadly, going too fast for the road conditions may have cost him his life.

"His family have been much consoled by many kind comments both in person and through social media. Andrew was clearly a loyal and trusted friend as well as a loving son and brother.

"We understand that his passing would have probably been instantaneous and painless. His family would particularly like to thank the passers-by that stopped to help, the many emergency services who attended and did everything they could, and the people who lived opposite who were so kind to us. 

"The support we have received from family, friends and the police has touched our hearts at a very difficult time.” 

Nine hundred former suppliers to the Bernard Matthews turkey business, who were owed millions of pounds before it was sold, are told they will not be paid.

BBC Radio Suffolk is officially available on DAB radio.

The official switch-on at 09:20 today came 20 years after digital radio hit the UK.

Terry Willis, branch manager at Hughes TV and Audio in Felixstowe, said it has been a "long wait" for Suffolk.

"Digital radio has been in this area for some time, but up until now we have had nothing local here," he said.

"It's now coming through loud and clear."

He said FM is not going to be switched off in the near future but DAB offers "more choice" with "crystal clear" reception.

Police looking for a missing airman say they do not believe his disappearance is in any way related to his job in the RAF.

A gardener is poised to learn whether the pumpkin grown from the world's most expensive pumpkin seed is itself a record-breaker... 

Matthew Oliver from Hyde Hall near South Woodham Ferrers has been growing the seed which came from a 2,323lbs (1,054kg) pumpkin and was bought by Ipswich-based seed company Thompson & Morgan earlier this year for £1,250.

We'll have to wait until tomorrow to find out if Mr Oliver's gourd is a winner, but here's what happened when we met him back in May:

It is almost two weeks since the 23-year-old disappeared after a Friday night out in Bury St Edmunds.

Suffolk Police will be distributing the new poster in the town to encourage anyone with information to come forward.

Officers are continuing searches to find anything that may help locate Mr Mckeague.

A ceremony has taken place at Ixworth Primary School near Bury St Edmunds to officially mark the arrival of BBC Radio Suffolk on DAB radio.

West Suffolk MP Matt Hancock (pictured centre with his right hand on the button) was there in his capacity as a local MP, external and the government's minister for digital at the Department of Media, Culture and Sport.

A run of two wins in 11 matches, and no goals scored in their last four, has resulted in some fans calling for McCarthy's head. 

Talbot disagrees: "The manager is first class and he'll get the team playing well, playing in an organised fashion and he'll make them strong.

"Whether they're strong enough to make the top six remains to be seen, as it's a difficult league and unfortunately money talks."

Suppliers to Norfolk and Suffolk turkey producer Bernard Matthews, external, who are owed a total of £23m and have been told they will not get paid, include small and medium sized businesses supplying agricultural goods, animal stock, transport and energy.

Clarke Willis of Anglia Farmers, external, which is owed about £10,000, said it provided satellite broadband monitoring of turkey sheds and this had been turned off. 

He described the letter informing the 900 creditors there would be no payments as "stark". 

He said non-payment of larger amounts was putting the viability of many other businesses at risk. 

Former owner Rutland Partners, external said it had invested significant amounts into Bernard Matthews during its three years in charge when the firm struggled.

Suppliers to turkey producer Bernard Matthews, external, which has farms and factories in Norfolk and Suffolk, who were owed money before it was purchased by food tycoon Ranjit Boparan, external have been told by letter they will not get paid or receive compensation.

The take-over was done under a pre-pack administration deal to protect the value of the company but this meant that 900 suppliers, some owed more than £1m, would be left out of pocket to the tune of £23m, BBC Radio 4's Farming Today was told. 

The purchase deal was settled before Bernard Matthews went into administration, so a meeting of creditors was not required. 

A lower level of staff pensions would be paid through a government protection scheme.

Mr Boparan said he had offered to buy the firm with its debt and pension liabilities, but this was rejected by former owners Rutland Partners , externalwho replied that they had invested significant amounts in the company under their stewardship.

Twenty years after digital radio hit the UK, BBC Radio Suffolk is finally available on DAB radios.

The official switch-on takes place at 09:20 with a ceremony at Ixworth Primary School.

The radio station remains available on 103.9 FM (Ipswich area), 104.6 FM (Bury St Edmunds), 95.5 FM (Lowestoft) and 95.9 FM (Aldeburgh).

And it's still available online.

It's nearly two weeks since 23-year-old RAF Honington serviceman Corrie Mckeague disappeared after a Friday night out in Bury St Edmunds.

Suffolk Police have been viewing hours of CCTV footage and trying to trace people who were in the town centre.

Supt Kim Warner said: "It's certainly true to say we're still unclear or we haven't made any significant progress in terms of identifying where Corrie could be.

"That's not to say there hasn't been a significant amount of officer time and effort invested in this and certainly those lines of inquiry are significant and they continue."

Suffolk Police believe there is no connection between the disappearance of Corrie Mckeague and the fact he is an RAF Honington serviceman.

Following the inquiry into a suspected attempted kidnap of a serviceman at RAF Marham in Norfolk, Suffolk Police have been asked whether it could be a result of terrorist activity.

Supt Kim Warner said: "There's nothing to suggest at the moment that his status within the RAF is a factor with him going missing. 

"We're treating that as not relevant within this particular inquiry.

"We're treating his missing person status the same way we would treat any other missing person status - of a high risk."

The 23-year-old, who's been missing for 13 days, had been in Bury St Edmunds on a night out on Friday, 23 September and was last seen on CCTV cameras at 04:20 on the Saturday morning.

Search teams have looked at the main roads out of the town, around rail lines, on the A11 and in woodland, but there's been no trace of him.

Supt Kim Warner said: "There's absolutely nothing at the moment to suggest any third party involvement, nothing to suggest any criminality. 

"We're not ruling anything out, but at the moment there's nothing to suggest that is the case - it's a missing person inquiry."
