BBC Home Service

BBC Home Service

The BBC Home Service was a British national radio station which broadcast from 1939 until 1967 (at which point it was replaced by Radio 4). During the life of the Home Service, most audio comedy shows were broadcast on its sister station BBC Light Programme (because this Home Service station was intended for 'heavier' programming like news and drama). However the Home Service did broadcast some comedy - most notably ITMA and The Goon Show.
