BBC Network Three

BBC Network Three is a radio service which began broadcasting on 30 September 1957 and ended on 29 September 1967. It was replaced by BBC Radio 3.

Network Three was a mid-50s creation, an adjunct to the existing Third Programme, created some 11 years after the station was launched.  When the Third Programme was at its planning stage in 1946 the terms of reference stated that it was designed “to be of artistic and cultural importance. The audience envisaged is one already aware of artistic experience and will include persons of taste, of intelligence, and of education; it is, therefore, selective not casual, and both attentive and critical”.
