Editing BBC Home Service (section)

==Programming==
The service provided between five and seven national news bulletins a day from London – with [[radio drama|drama]], talks and informational programmes. Non-topical talk programmes and heavier drama output were transferred to the [[BBC Third Programme|Third Programme]] when it began broadcasting on 29 September 1946.

===Music and schools===
During the day, the service also included programmes of [[classical music]]. These were reduced in number when government limits on radio broadcasting hours were relaxed in 1964, and the Music Programme began broadcasting during the daytime on the frequencies of the (evening-only) [[BBC Third Programme|Third Programme]]. They were discontinued when regular broadcasting began daily from 7.00 am to 6.30 pm on 22 March 1965.

The service also broadcast educational programmes for schools during the day, backed with booklets and support material.

===Reorganisation===
Programmes were reorganised across the three BBC networks on 30 September 1957, with much of the Home Service's lighter content transferring to the [[BBC Light Programme]] and the establishment of the [[BBC Radio 3|Third Network]], which used the frequencies of the Third Programme to carry the Home Service's [[adult education]] content known as the Study Session, and the Home and Light's sports coverage as well as the Third Programme itself.
