The remit of Radio 4 Extra is to provide speech-based entertainment.
Its schedule should include comedy, drama, stories, features, readings and programmes that appeal to children. Most output should come from the 麻豆约拍 archive, but the station should commission some original content, particularly of types of output rarely found on 麻豆约拍 Radio.
Current service licence
The Trust reissued this service licence in April 2016 with an amended baseline budget for the year 2016/7. In giving approval to this change, the Trust has been assured by the 麻豆约拍 Executive that the change to the budget does not reflect any change to the remit, scope or other stated key characteristics of the service.
