• The Daily Service on Radio 4 Extra

  From April 2024 The Daily Service will be available at the same time on weekdays on BBC Radio 4 Extra.

  4 Extra is a digital station available on DAB Radios, on the BBC Sounds app and online.  It will no longer be available on Long Wave. Radio 4 are ending separate scheduling on Radio 4 LW as the technology is coming to the end of its life. 

  We will continue to alert people to this change as we come closer to it in 2024, as we have with announcements at the end of the programme.
