Where can I find the Radio 4 schedule?
The new Radio 4 schedule pages list all the programmes by date and time of broadcast.
How can I find more information about a programme?
You can search for programme pages by title, using the
A to Z index, by date and time of broadcast, using the
Schedule pages or via one of the genre homepages,
eg Arts or Science.
How long do recordings stay on the website?
Most programmes are only available for seven days after transmission before being removed or replaced by the audio of the following week's programme. This limit applies to all dramas, readings and comedy programmes.
Which programmes are archived?
Some factual broadcasts, eg Today, Woman's Hour and most Science programmes are available as part of our long term audio archives. Check a programme's webpage to see if it offers an audio archive (look for the Previous Programmes section). Older science programmes which are not part of regular series are listed on the Science Archive page.

How can I get a CD or transcript of a programme?
BBC Worldwide publish BBC programmes, books and related items. The decisions about whether to release material for sale are made by BBC Worldwide on the basis of projected sales. See the BBC Shop for more information. Otherwise, we're sorry but we can't provide them for you. Copyright and contractual agreements only cover broadcasts - the duplication or distribution of recordings and other materials has to be negotiated separately so this is only done for commercial release. If you are a contributor to a programme please contact your production team directly.
Transcripts are only available for a few Radio 4 programmes: see the pages for Any Questions, Analysis, Case Notes, Check Up and In Touch.
You can often view or listen to a programme by contacting the National Sound Archive. Their material is not for sale, hire or loan but you may be able to arrange viewing or listening for research or study purposes (you may have to pay a small fee).
