Broadcasts from approximately 5.30 am to 1 am. At other times the transmitters carry BBC World Service (which is available on AM). Hmm, how do you describe Radio 4? A national institution perhaps? "The best channel of spoken word in the world" says the website, with some rather un-British big-headedness. Radio 4 is quite probably unique world-wide. There's lots of news, hourly throughout the day. General interest talk - rarely any music. Broadcasts phone-in shows. Gardening shows. Politics, religion, drama, current affairs, weather, farming, documentaries, consumer affairs, serials - e.g. The Archers (this link is a fantastic labour of love giving daily summaries of the storylines and a vast array of statistics). Comedy quiz shows. Shipping forecasts. Desert Island Discs. I could go on and on.... April 1998 saw some schedule changes with one of the ideas being a constant week-day thread at the same time every day (e.g. a comedy programme each weekday evening at 6.30 pm). Also broadcasts on 93.2, 720 kHz AM and 198 kHz AM
