The Epilogue 26 September 1926
The Epilogue, a quiet moment of reflection to mark the end of the broadcasting day, was first heard on Sunday 26 September 1926. It initially comprised themed Bible readings but over time hymns were added. Amongst the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Sunday output - which was restricted to programmes that were deemed appropriate to the Sabbath - the Epilogue stood out and was greatly appreciated. By 1928 the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ could report that the Sunday Epilogue was "the most popular single item in all the programmes".
