Radio 4 which frequency

At the time, I recorded it on tape. Sadly later by mistake someone taped over it and the recording was lost. My Father died a long time ago, but I would so like to be able to hear it again.

Is there any chance you would still have it?

There are many opportunities to be an audience member at the recording of Radio 4 programmes, especially comedy shows. Radio 4 recognises that a group of its listeners value a daily worship programme.

In order to provide a daily service for those who wanted it, as well as offering an alternative for those who don't, it was decided to split the network with the Daily Service being broadcast on Long Wave. Long Wave was chosen for two reasons as the home for the Daily Service: LW is the signal which everyone can receive wherever they are in the UK, and LW usage amongst Daily Service listeners is slightly higher than among other Radio 4 listeners.

Radio frequencies are allocated by the Government and Radio 4 is uniquely privileged in having two frequencies - FM and Long Wave. We have to use these frequencies to provide the best service to the greatest number of listeners. Our research tells us that about two million people tune in to each match.

Most Radio 4 listeners choose to use the FM frequency rather than Long Wave when it is available, so this seemed to be the best use of our resources.

Also, FM carries stereo, which is not necessary for cricket, but is, for example, for dramas. We can only apologise to those listeners who do not receive FM. Anyone wanting to host the programe should complete the application form on the Gardeners' Question Time website. The music before the late-night shipping forecast is called Sailing By. It was composed by Ronald Binge, who wrote much other light music, notably Elizabethan Serenade.

He also arranged Charmaine for Mantovani's orchestra. Yesterday in Parliament airs when Westminster is sitting at 8. So antique is the transmission equipment that the BBC does not believe it is possible to manufacture new valves because slightly faulty replacements could cause a catastrophic failure of the other parts of the transmitter. Whenever the valves fail a dangerous "arc of power" surges through the ft Droitwich transmission masts. Building a new long-wave transmitter for Radio 4 would cost "many millions of pounds", according to BBC insiders.

Part of the problem is that pumping the signal so that it can cover England, Wales and lowland Scotland requires kilowatts of power, far more - according to the BBC - than other long wave transmitters, which makes the kit both unique and expensive.

Meanwhile, modern mariners use other technology and services to get forecast information. Highland Scotland is covered by two smaller transmitters and Northern Ireland does not easily receive Radio 4 long wave. However, the signal is strong enough to be audible in parts of the Netherlands, Ireland, France and Germany.
