History

The success of Radio 4 News FM during the 1991 first Gulf War led Liz Forgan to suggest in May 1993 the introduction of a combined news and sport network. As a result, the BBC's fifth radio network, BBC Radio 5 (former)|BBC Radio 5 , was closed down. The old service's mix of sport, educational and children's programmes were merged into other services. The new BBC Radio 5 Live began its 24-hour service at 5am on Monday 28 March. The first voice on air was Jane Garvey (broadcaster)|Jane Garvey , who later went on to co-present the breakfast and drivetime shows with Peter Allen (UK broadcaster)|Peter Allen . The launch was described by The Times as "slipp smoothly and confidently into a routine of informative banter" and The Scotsman as "professionalism at its slickest."

The tone of the channel, engaging and more relaxed than contemporary BBC output, was the key to the channel's success and set the model for other BBC News services later in the decade. The first audiences were some four million, with a record audience of six and a quarter million. Among the key editorial staff involved in the design of programme formats and recruitment of staff for the new station were Sara Nathan, later editor of Channel 4 News, and Tim Luckhurst , later editor of The Scotsman newspaper and currently Professor of Journalism at the University of Kent. University of Kent

In 2000, the station was rebranded with a new logo which would remain with the station for another seven years. In addition, on 2 February 2002 a companion station, BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra , was launched as a digital-only service to complement the range of sport and to avoid clashes; previously BBC Local Radio stations were used. Transdiffusion Throughout this period, Five Live gained several awards including five Sony Awards in 2005; the single gold award was for its coverage of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake|2004 Asian tsunami in the News Story Award category alongside another four silver awards and six nominations. The station also began to further it's boundaries with the publication of the Radio Five Live Sporting Yearbook . Barnsley Libraries, ISBN 0-00-721598-3 In August 2007, BBC Radio Five Live was renamed BBC Radio 5 Live and was given a new logo in line with the rest of the BBC Radio network guardian.co.uk, 8 August 2007, and a new background design featuring diagonal parallel lines.

In 2008, the BBC announced that the station would move to MediaCityUK in Salford, Greater Manchester|Salford

Broadcast

BBC Radio 5 Live broadcasts in AM radio|AM on the medium wave frequencies 693 and 909& nbsp;kHz nationally, with the frequency 990& nbsp;kHz used at Cardigan Bay ; these frequencies had been utilised by BBC Radio 5 and were used by BBC Radio 2 previously. Uniquely to the BBC Radio network, it is the only station that is neither purely digital (such as BBC Radio 1Xtra|1Xtra , BBC Radio 4 Extra|Radio 4 Extra and BBC Radio 6 Music|6 Music ) nor broadcast in analogue FM radio|FM . In addition to the AM output, the station also broadcasts digitally on Digital Audio Broadcasting|DAB Digital Radio , and on television through Direct-broadcast satellite|satellite services such as Sky (UK and Ireland)|Sky , Cable television#United Kingdom|cable services such as Virgin Media , Digital terrestrial television#United Kingdom|DTT services such as Freeview (UK)|Freeview and through IPTV . The station also broadcasts programmes live through the BBC Online website and the BBC iPlayer sub-site, which allows programs to be replayed up to a week after the original broadcast. The service is also available on the Radioplayer internet site partially run by the BBC. Before the launch of digital broadcasting, BBC Radio 5 Live had broadcast on analogue satellite with near-FM quality.

For many years, the station was operated over four floors from within the News Centre at BBC Television Centre , because of the close connections between the station and BBC News , and the co-location of BBC Sport . However, as part of the corporation's plan to sell off Television Centre, the decision was made in 2008 to move BBC Radio 5 Live to the new broadcast hub at MediaCityUK . The move itself began in September 2011 and took two months. The new studios are located in Quay House over a single floor and consists of two studios, large enough for several guests, and a separate studio for large groups.

Programming

News

BBC Radio 5 live's remit includes broadcasting rolling news and transmitting news as it breaks. The BBC's policy for major breaking news events revolves around a priority list. With UK news, the correspondent first records a "generic minute" summary (for use by all stations and channels) and then priority is to report on Radio 5 live, then on the BBC News Channel and onto any other programmes that are on air. For foreign news, first a "generic minute" is recorded, then reports are to World Service radio, then the reporter talks to any other programmes that are on air. As a result, BBC Radio 5 Live is often the first place to hear a breaking news story, and it is this quality that appeals to a number of listeners.

BBC Radio 5 live broadcasts an extremely wide range of sports and covers all the major sporting events, mostly under its flagship sports banner 5 Live Sport .

Often UEFA Champions League games are not broadcast live online at all due to rights restrictions imposed by UEFA. This is sometimes not the case for matches in the knockout stage involving English clubs playing at home, whereby domestic radio stations may bid for non-exclusive rights to all coverage, including online broadcast. UEFA BBC Radio 5 Live were Official Broadcasters of the 2006 FIFA World Cup|2006 World Cup along with talkSPORT.
