=== Production ===
The station broadcasts a mix of live and pre-recorded programmes. Live programming includes breakfast programme ''[[Today (BBC Radio 4)|Today]]'', magazine programme ''[[Woman's Hour]]'', consumer affairs programme ''[[You and Yours]]'', and (often) the music, film, books, arts and culture programme ''[[Front Row (radio programme)|Front Row]]''. [[Continuity (broadcasting)|Continuity]] is managed from [[Broadcasting House]] with news bulletins, including the hourly summaries and longer programmes such as the ''Six O'Clock News'' and ''Midnight News'', and news programmes such as ''Today'', ''The World at One'' and ''PM'', which by early 2013 had returned to Broadcasting House after 15 years at [[BBC Television Centre]] in [[White City, London|White City]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/998847.stm |title=New era for Broadcasting House |work=BBC News |access-date=19 March 2010 | date=31 October 2000 | location=London}}</ref> The news returning to Broadcasting House has also meant that newsreaders can provide cover for continuity, which regularly occurs at 23:00 each night and 16:00 on a Sunday. This has reduced the total number of continuity announcers required each day down from four to three.

The [[Greenwich Time Signal]], popularly known as "the pips", is broadcast every hour to herald the news bulletin, except at midnight and 18:00, and 22:00 on Sunday, when the chimes of [[Big Ben]] are played. There is no Greenwich Time Signal at 15:00 on Saturday or 11:00 and 12:00 on Sunday due to the Saturday Afternoon drama and the omnibus edition of ''[[The Archers]]'' respectively. Only pips broadcast on FM and LW are accurate. On digital platforms there is a delay of between three and five seconds, and up to 23 seconds online.
