If you are in Norwich then you can catch a special exhibition in The Forum from Easter Monday.

It is shown on the BBC Radio Lincolnshire schedule in the Radio Times and it is the time Paul Rowley was advised of by the station quite recently.
It's shown on the BBC Radio Norfolk schedule as a BBC Radio Norfolk Special, but BBC Radio Lincoln is quite different, as is BBC Essex.
Also, last night Keith Skues specifically mentioned that it was just Radio Norfolk, not the Eastern Counties group of stations.
I'm not quoting Radio Times in my messages here, I'm quoting from emails from Paul Rowley with the times he has been given direct and giving his own description of the documentary. He didn't have an exact time from BBC Radio Lincolnshire or BBC Radio Cornwall when I got his first email March 28, just that they would broadcast it over Easter. That's why the original entry on Pirate Radio Hall of Fame, which said times for BBC Radio Cornwall and Lincolnshire to be announced, now says amended with the times now through for those stations.
BBC Radio Suffolk online schedule has the documentary listed, as does BBC Radio Cornwall's, BBC Radio Suffolk's printed Radio Times schedule has the documentary listed and I've now stopped checking.
It's up to the stations themselves to keep their online schedules up to date and meet Radio Times's deadlines for publication.
