Launched in December 2002, BBC 7 is a digital radio station broadcasting comedy, drama, and children's programming eighteen hours a day.BBC7 is the principal broadcasting outlet for the BBC's vast archives of spoken word entertainment. The schedule spans the decades, from 1950s classics like the Goon Show to recent Radio 4 shows.
