January

[edit]
  • 1 January – BBC Radio Ulster launches as a full time station. It replaces what had been a Northern Ireland opt-out of BBC Radio 4.
  • 6 January – BBC Radio 2's broadcasting hours are reduced due to budget cuts at the BBC. The former 5 am – 2 am schedule is reduced to a 6 am start up Mondays to Saturdays with a 6:55 am start up on Sundays. The station closes down at around 12:33 am each day. Another consequence on the cuts is that David Hamilton's afternoon show is broadcast on both Radio 1 and Radio 2.
