History

Farming Today began life on 20 September 1960 as a weekly 15-minute programme subtitled A review of current affairs in agriculture at home and abroad and broadcast at 19.15 on Tuesdays as part of the BBC's Third Network's sequence of educational broadcasting known as Network Three. From 3 October 1961 the programme's start time was moved to 19.00, and from 7 January 1964 it changed again, to 19.45.

The run of weekly programmes on Network Three came to an end on 25 August 1964 and from 31 August Farming Today (now subtitled News, market trends, and current topics) moved to a 6.35–6.50 slot on Monday to Saturday mornings on the BBC Home Service (later to become BBC Radio 4 in 1967), where it replaced the 10-minute Farm Bulletin which had been broadcast on that network at 6.40 on six mornings a week since 10 July 1962.

Between 1964 and today, with the lengthening of the Home Service / Radio 4 broadcast day, the start time of the weekday programme (which has varied between 13 and 20 minutes in length) has gradually shifted earlier, and now stands at 5.45.[1]

Content
