Gardeners' Question Time tender opportunity
Gardeners’ Question Time (GQT) has been one of Radio 4’s most popular programmes since its first broadcast in 1947. It attracts a weekly audience, including the repeat edition, of c.1.4 million.
Radio 4 is opening up this tender which is in line with our policy of offering independent suppliers opportunities to tender for long running business. We are looking for a single company to supply this high profile weekly strand for transmission from August 2012 to July 2015.
