One of the ways we do this is by carrying out an in- depth review of each of the BBC’s services at least once every five years. This time we have reviewed BBC Radio 3, BBC Radio 4 and BBC Radio 7. Radio 3 is intended to offer a mixture of music and cultural programming. Its core proposition is classical music and its speech-based programming should inform and educate the audience about music and culture. Radio 3 should also feature jazz, world music, drama, the arts and ideas, and religious programming. Radio 3 broadcasts throughout the UK on FM radio, DAB digital radio and other digital media. Radio 4 is a mixed speech service, offering in-depth news and current affairs.
