You have to say Frank nailed that one! The only time they've ever tried to update it (1FM!) now seems hopelessly dated.
This Day: 1967. Frank Gillard announced the new 1,2,3,4 names for BBC radio. 'A great deal of thought' had been given to the new names, 'so they would not become outdated, as had present titles'. Radio 1 would have 'some of the characteristics of commercial radio' #radiomoments

Suspect this, the Paris train attacks + #Olympics Opening ceremony, and the smashing of a major Mexican drugs cartel (bbc.com/news/articles/c4ng4g…) will dominate my afternoon and evening pushing buttons for the @bbcworldservice - to Broadcasting House!
It means so much to have your endorsements, @MichelleObama and @BarackObama. Let’s get to work.

Good! Veep is excellent! (Although The Thick Of It remains my favourite!)
With Kamala Harris now the likely Democratic nominee, interest in HBO's Emmy-winning "Veep" is surging due to its parallels with Biden's decision to exit the race and endorse her. cbsn.ws/3YfROjQ
