Notes & New Programmes
Programmes ran from Monday 10th January to Friday 25th March 1994. There were no programmes in the week of 14th February, children's programmes were broadcast instead for half term.
The three series of Listening and Reading, which had been running since 1991, were replaced this year by Listen and Read, entering its second term in spring 1994. Also entering its second term was Talking Points on Radio Scotland, a religious education series which replaced the long-running Scottish Religious Service. Snapdragon, an English-language series on Radio Cymru, was also new.
On the other hand, the dramatisation of The Wanderer in English 9-11 on Radio 5 was a repeat from autumn 1984, almost 10 years earlier.
