Radio 4 Extra is now the UK’s most popular digital radio station. Its formula is simple, cheap and brilliant. It plunders the BBC’s compendious archives and re-broadcasts classic comedy, drama and documentaries. Anything from Hancock’s Half Hour from the 1950s to last week’s edition of The Now Show. No news, no weather, no traffic bulletins – just pure, intelligent entertainment 24 hours a day. And when you get to hear half-forgotten gems like this, what’s not to love?
No news is good news.
