 East Anglia was given greater autonomy within the BBC in 1969 after the "Broadcasting in the Seventies" report recommended the large "Midlands and East Anglia" region should be split into two.During 1997, an opt-out service (originally titled "Close Up") was introduced to provide local bulletins for Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire, Peterborough and Milton Keynes.Until 1980, regional radio programming was provided by an East Anglia opt-out on BBC Radio 4, consisting largely of daytime news bulletins and a weekday breakfast show, "Roundabout East Anglia".
