===Station goes national=== In November 1999, as part of the addition of a suite of BBC and commercial radio services to the [[Sky UK|Sky Digital]] [[satellite television]] platform, BBC Asian Network was made available to Sky viewers alongside [[BBC Radio 1]], [[BBC Radio 2]], [[BBC Radio 3]], [[BBC Radio 4]], [[BBC Radio 5 Live]], [[BBC World Service]], [[BBC Radio Scotland]], [[BBC Radio Wales]] and [[BBC Radio Ulster]]. On Monday 28 October 2002, it was relaunched for the [[Digital Audio Broadcasting|DAB]] Digital Radio system, now broadcasting nationwide. In January 2006, the BBC announced that they were investing an extra Β£1m in the BBC Asian Network, and increasing the number of full-time staff by 30% in a bid to make British South Asian interests "a mainstream part of the corporation's output".
