There were three main BBC Radio stations broadcasting from Britain during the 1950's decade. The "Light Programme" brought us mainstream light entertainment and music whilst the "Home Service" provided the news and drama and the "Third Programme" was more highbrow and broadcast classical music, classic plays and sports such as cricket test matches.
