Topic: In Our Time (BBC Radio 4)


  
  BBC Radio 4 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
BBC Radio 4 is a British domestic radio station which broadcasts a wide variety of chiefly spoken-word programmes including news, drama, comedy, science and history.
Radio 4 is the second most popular British domestic radio station after Radio 2, and was awarded "UK Radio Station of the Year" at the 2004 Sony Radio Academy Awards for the second year running.
Unlike the Radio 4 of today, it had regional variations and was broadcast on medium wave rather than long wave, with a network of VHF FM transmitters being added progressively from 1955.

BBC television news we were told that although the bomb in Baghdad had killed 30 children it was really targeted against the Americans (after all one American had died), and that the bomb in September that also killed about 30 children had also really been targeted against the Americans.
Radio 4 has long been the broadcast version of the Guardian and if you consider how many teachers and 'university' (as in the University of Luton) lecturers there are, you can easily account for the votes Uncle Karl's half-baked nonsense received.
