Items from BBC Radio Guernsey's 40 years of broadcasting in the Bailiwick of Guernsey have gone on display.

Guernsey Museum is hosting a special exhibition ahead of the station's 40th birthday on 16 March 2022.

Executive Producer Michelle Daniel said: "It's been fun pulling the items together for this exhibition.

"In the BBC's centenary year and BBC Radio Guernsey's 40th it's a timely reminder how much technology has changed.

"When we started the kit was huge - now it fits in your pocket."
