===In media=== Many American and British daily newspapers publish a larger edition on Sundays, which often includes color comic strips, a magazine, and a coupon section. Others only publish on a Sunday, or have a "sister paper" with a different masthead that only publishes on a Sunday. North American radio stations often play specialty radio shows such as [[Casey Kasem]]'s countdown or other nationally syndicated radio shows that may differ from their regular weekly music patterns on Sunday morning or Sunday evening. In the United Kingdom, there is a Sunday tradition of chart shows on [[BBC Radio 1]] and [[Independent Local Radio|commercial radio]]; this originates in the broadcast of chart shows and other populist material on Sundays by [[Radio Luxembourg (English)|Radio Luxembourg]] when the [[John Reith, 1st Baron Reith|Reithian]] [[BBC]]'s Sunday output consisted largely of solemn and religious programmes. The first Sunday chart show was broadcast on the [[BBC Light Programme|Light Programme]] on 7 January 1962,<ref>[http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/b7556e5ed91d41a589b75dfe03b2c3f0 BBC Genome Project - Radio Times listings]</ref> which was considered a radical step at the time. BBC Radio 1's chart show moved to Fridays in July 2015<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-32019327|title=Radio 1 chart show moving to Friday afternoons|first=Mark|last=Savage|work=BBC News |date=24 March 2015|access-date=30 December 2016}}</ref> but a chart update on Sundays was launched in July 2019.<ref>[http://www.musicweek.com/media/read/bbc-radio-1-to-launch-first-glance-sunday-chart-show-this-week/076743 Music Week website, 10 July 2019]</ref> Period or older-skewing television dramas, such as ''[[Downton Abbey]]'', ''[[Call the Midwife]]'', ''[[Lark Rise to Candleford (TV series)|Lark Rise to Candleford]]'' and ''[[Heartbeat (UK TV series)|Heartbeat]]'' are commonly shown on Sunday evenings in the UK; the first of these was ''[[Dr Finlay's Casebook]]'' in the 1960s.<ref>''The Kaleidoscope British Independent Television Drama Research Guide 1955-2010'' and ''The Kaleidoscope BBC Television Drama Research Guide 1936-2011'', [[Kaleidoscope Publishing]]</ref> Similarly, ''[[Antiques Roadshow]]'' has been shown on Sundays on [[BBC One|BBC1]] since 1979<ref>{{cite web|url=http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/search/0/20?adv=0&q=Antiques%20Roadshow&media=all&yf=1923&yt=2009&mf=1&mt=12&tf=00:00&tt=00:00#search|title=Search Results - BBC Genome|access-date=30 December 2016}}</ref> and ''[[Last of the Summer Wine]]'' was shown on Sundays for many years until it ended in 2010.<ref>''The British Television Comedy Research Guide 1936-2011'', [[Kaleidoscope Publishing]], 2011</ref> On Sundays, [[BBC Radio 2]] plays music in styles which it once regularly played but which are now rarely heard on the station, with programmes such as ''[[Elaine Paige]] on Sunday''<ref>[http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001550s BBC Radio 2 website - Elaine Paige show from 13 March 2022]</ref> and ''[[Sunday Night is Music Night]]''<ref>[http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0015l39 BBC Radio 2 website - Sunday Night is Music Night for 27 March 2022]</ref> although more contemporary styles now make up a higher percentage of the station's Sunday output than previously; for example, [[Kendrick Lamar]] received a Sunday-night play on the station in March 2022.<ref>[http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0015c1g BBC Radio 2 website - My Life in a Mixtape, 20 March 2022]</ref> Even younger-skewing media outlets sometimes skew older on Sundays within the terms of their own audience; for example, [[BBC Radio 1Xtra]] introduced an "Old Skool Sunday" schedule in the autumn of 2019.<ref>[https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2019/1xtra-schedule BBC press release, 5 August 2019]</ref> Many American, Australian and British television networks and stations also broadcast their [[Sunday morning talk shows|political interview shows]] on Sunday mornings.
