April 1970 In 1970, the BBC re-formatted the four national networks. Radio 4 became mostly a talk station, whilst Radio 3 broadcast mostly music. Radio 2 became more music based and took over Saturday afternoon sport. Radio 1 focused on pop and rock music, dropping the easy listening and jazz. As a result, Family Favourites, Late Night Extra, Night Ride and the Sunday night jazz shows changed from being Radio 1 to Radio 2 programmes, even though they continued to be broadcast on both networks. On weekdays, the daytime sharing between Radios 1 and 2 was reduced and a new strand of rock and progressive music programmes was launched under the Sounds of the Seventies banner:		1967-1969 April 1970 October 1970 October 1971 October 1972 October 1973 May 1974 1975-1979 1980-1982 1983-1987 1988-1993 1994-1997 1998-2004 Schedules index R1 transmission history History of transmission 1 History of transmission 2 History links Features index
