Am moving link to "Woman's Hour" as this programme was never on the Home Service: it went out in the Light Programme 1946-67, on Radio 2 1967-1973, and then moved to Radio 4. Am dubious about "Mrs Dale's Diary": AFAIK that was always on the Light Programme. Some sources say it began on the Home Service, but I think they're mistaken. To be followed up. -- Picapica 11:25, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Confirmed "Mrs Dale's Diary" was never on the Home Service (removed); "The Goon Show" WAS on the Home (added) -- Picapica 21:29, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)
I suggest that this stub article be merged into the History section of BBC Radio 4 as that article provides plenty of information already and will be the name that first comes to mind for the majority of people today.

I don't believe, despite what the article maintains at present, that there ever was a "station" publicly known as the BBC Third Network -- "third network" was the internal BBC designation for those frequencies and transmitters which were used to broadcast the Third Programme and, later, alongside the Third, such programming streams as "Study Session", the "Sports Service", etc. (the non-Third Programme elements were later still bundled as "Network 3"). Am looking for more sources at present. Would welcome anyone beating me to it in finding a definitive answer to this question! -- Picapica 19:47, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for that, Redvers! You've convinced me. Although I'm old enough that I ought to be able to remember the announcements made at the time, there is such a lot of contradictory info on the net concerning the Third Network / Network 3 (dates and nomenclature) that I ended up confused myself... I did once start a "time-line" on all this for my own purposes. Looks like I shall have to have another go at it! -- Picapica 10:59, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
“ | Third Network The Third Network consists of the Music Programme, the Third Programme, Study Session, and the Sports Service. The Third Network is also used for special programmes including ball-by-ball commentaries of the Test Matches. |
” |
“ | 30 Sep [1957] Re-organization of sound radio programmes. Network Three began | ” |
“ | 30 Aug [1964] Introduction of the Music Programme in the Third Network | ” |
“ | Dons mourned what they thought to be the passing of the Third Programme... In fact the new pattern of radio was quickly accepted and liked by listeners. | ” |
Surely this ought to be in BBC Radio 4, given that (a) it's talking about the regional situation on Radio 4 post Home Service and (b) the Radio 4 article is missing any reference to regions whatsoever. All this article needs is a short paragraph in the Regions section explaining that the situation continued for a time after the launch of R4. I'll make the move should nobody object. -- Fursday 14:00, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

There appears to be no mention of the Home Service on 200m long wave. This (Now 198m) is Radio 4s only AM wavelength. Deke42 ( talk) 22:57, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
This section is nonsense. British domestic programming did not cease to make way for external French language programming. There may have been some surplus transmission capacity or frequencies handed over or use of the network overnight but normal domestic programming was not replaced. 86.152.13.86 ( talk) 00:25, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
