  BBC Radio 5 Live
BBC Radio 5 Live is the British Broadcasting Corporation's radio service devoted to news, phone-ins, and sports commentaries.
The station was originally launched as BBC Radio 5 in 1988, and carried a mixture of sports, news, children's programming and drama, broadcasting for about 18 hours per day.
The BBC eventually decided to relaunch the station with a new name, so the "old" Radio 5 closed down at midnight on Sunday March 27, 1994 following a special programme on the subject of endings, and the new Radio 5 Live began its 24-hour service on the morning of Monday, March 28.

 BBC Radio Five Live - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
From January 16 Radio 4's FM frequencies were used to provide an all-news network for the coverage of the war.
Despite protests from BBC Radio 4 listeners the BBC also received praise for the quality of this service and the speed with which it was set up.
Due to the resistance to any use of Radio 4 FM or LW frequencies it was decided that Radio 5, criticised by John Birt as "improvised and disjointed", would relaunch as a combined news and sport channel.

BBC Radio Wales and Cymru also had new logos based around this corporate look; Radios Scotland, Ulster and all the English local stations continued to use logos each in their own individual style.
Radio 5 Live launched in 1994, and the other networks, including Radio 4, all decided to take the opportunity to refresh their logos as well.
Radio 5 launched in August 1990 as a network dedicated to sport, education, children's programmes, and all the other junk the other networks didn't want.

Tori did an interview on BBC Radio 5 Live in the U.K. on August 31, 2001, one day after she did a solo concert in London.
She was on for about 45 minutes with Victoria Derbyshire, (although the show has multiple guests and topics so that not all that time was devoted to her).
I told her I thought the whole concert was extremely intense especially Merman and Me and a Gun - I asked how she thought the show went and what was going on in her mind.

Tonight at midnight I am to be on the Richard Bacon debate show on Radio 5 Live, arguing about censorship.
My job, and that of my pro-censorship opponent, will be to poke a stick into the wasps nest that is the Radio 5 phoning-in community, thereby 'involving' lots of people.
I keep trying to get these radio shows to introduce me as a Samizdata blogger, instead of just as "from the Libertarian Alliance", but they still do not understand about this, or perhaps fear that their listeners will not understand.
