What kinda music though?

Well, Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 3 is predominantly a classical music station; we play a lot of well-known classical pieces and whole concerts as well as music from new and upcoming performers and composers. Many of these come through the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Music Introducing Uploader and are featured on our programme.

Radio 3 also hosts UK national radio’s only world music programme, World on 3, and a variety of jazz programmes. Late Junction and Exposure delve into everything experimental/avant-garde covering genres classed as contemporary classical, folk, electronic, conceptual and everything in between.
