The Managing Editor is Laura Moss, who moved from BBC Radio Northampton in April 2012. HistoryBBC Radio Bedfordshire (1985–1993)The station launched as "Radio Bedfordshire" on 24 June 1985, serving the whole of Bedfordshire plus North Bucks and the northern parts of Hertfordshire. Therefore, as well as Luton and Bedford, Milton Keynes, Hemel Hempstead, Harpenden, Aylesbury, St Albans, Welwyn Garden City, Letchworth, Stevenage and Hitchin were served by the new station. In 1992 the station became known as "BBC Radio Bedfordshire with Herts and Bucks". BBC Three Counties Radio (1993–present)The station changed to its present name on 5 April 1993. The new name was intended to reflect the wider reach across the three counties and to give equal service to all. The editorial area was not, at that point, expanded but enhanced studio facilities and staff were devoted to Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire.
