Talk:BBC Third Programme

"it broadcasts 24 hours a day, following the useful technique commenced in Milan of repeating the day's output late at night."

1. BBC R3 does not "repeat the day's output late at night" (although five times a week it does repeat at midnight just one hour of programming first broadcast at noon a week earlier).

2. What has Milan got to do with it? -- Picapica 15:38, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Added information and corrections drawn from a recent BBC 4 documentary, Primary Sources in Delaware (which includes a brief history of the Third Programme in its notes) and BBC fact sheets. --Davidbrake 11:35, 31 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Factual Accuracy

The fact that the article said that the BBC Third Programme broadcast on 909 MW is technically incorrect because the BBC used 908 MW before the November 23, 1978 frequency changes. 908 MW was used for the BBC Home Service in London, which became BBC Radio 4 [1]. This section on the frequency changes shows that BBC Radio 3 (formed from the Third Programme) actually used 647KHz before the changes [2]. I suspect some other information in the section is incorrect too. --tgheretford (talk) 22:41, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
