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. |
