BBC Radio Foyle first went on air on the 11th September 1979, initially broadcasting for just 20 hours a week, from the Northern Counties building in Derry city centre. Although a bomb destroyed the station's offices in December of that year, the station stayed on air. Following another bomb outside the premises in June 1980, they moved to moved to a new location at Rock Road in Derry. A new £1m complex was built on Northland Road (right), and became the station's home in 1985.

A protest against the UK government's 1988 Broadcasting Ban led to Sinn Fein councillors occupying Radio Foyle's studios in 1992. The station broadcast Radio Ulster output to prevent access by the protestors to the airwaves. The studios (right) had a major revamp in 1998.
