Broadcasting House

Broadcasting House is an Art Deco building with media studios at the intersection of Ormeau Avenue and Bedford Street in central Belfast. The structure spans multiple floors and houses radio and television studios with production facilities.

The building opened in 1941 after construction began in 1938, replacing earlier BBC premises that had occupied other locations. This marked a shift toward a dedicated, purpose-built facility for broadcasting operations in Belfast.

This site houses radio and television studios where BBC Radio Ulster produces programs that reach people across Northern Ireland every day. The building represents a central hub for local media production and journalism in the region.

Parts of the building can be explored through guided tours that show how broadcasting studios operate. It is worth checking access times in advance, as visitor hours may vary depending on production schedules.

The entrance features Art Deco details with geometric patterns and fine materials that reflect the design era in which it was built. Visitors often overlook these architectural touches while focusing on the modern broadcasting facilities inside.
