All over the country regional news is watched on screen by thousands of people and now viewers have an exciting opportunity to see, touch and even smell the real studios.

This is a fantastic chance to gain access to the rarely seen world behind the famous TV and radio programmes broadcast and produced from ´óÏó´«Ã½ Norwich at The Forum.
