Learning Zone

This grid shows programming strands rather than individual series, and it is not to the same scale as the others on this page (although none of the grids are strictly to scale). Its granularity is 15 minutes rather than 5 minutes.

Learning Zone Notes

Programmes broadcast overnight on BBC2 in the early hours of the morning Mondays to Fridays, and occasionally Saturdays and Sundays too. These programmes are all educational but not all of them are for schools, in fact at most 2 hours a night were aimed specifically at schools or colleges.

The Learning Zone ran throughout the year, but the programmes for schools were shown from Tuesday 22nd September to Thursday 3rd December 1998. The schools programmes on film and the media shown on Friday mornings continued until Friday 18th December, and the teachers' programmes also shown on Friday mornings continued throughout the whole year.

The new series Learn with DynaMo began this term - home learning programmes for primary school age children (so not strictly-speaking schools programmes at all). They are not listed in the grids above because they were broadcast on Saturday and Sunday mornings at 03:00-05:00 from 3rd October, designed to be recorded overnight. There was also a 10-minute DynaMo introductory programme for parents and teachers shown on BBC2 at 9:00 every morning in the week beginning 9th November.

GCSE Bitesize Revision programmes were shown on Saturday and Sunday mornings from 28th November, all were repeats.

Outside of schools programmes, there was a new series called Talk Spanish for adult beginners in the language, from 29th September, plus a new cultural series on Spain shown in English as Spain Inside Out from 28th September and in Spanish as Spanish Journey from 8th December.

Notes

There were also "Nightime Transmission" broadcasts of schools programmes in 2-hour blocks on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings throughout term-time. In general all new series were given a Nightime Transmission of all episodes shortly before the regular weekly transmissions of the series during the daytime had finished.

In Wales programmes were broadcast on S4C television, but I don't know details of any regional variations - if you do please get in touch by email!
