BBC 7

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.

Its children's programming consists of two strands: The Little Toe Radio Show for pre-schoolers, runs for one hour and can currently be be heard at 7:00 AM and 3:00 PM daily, while The Big Toe Radio Show for older children runs from 4:00 - 6:00 PM daily. These programmes, unlike the rest of BBC 7's output, consist mostly of original material.

It can be heard worldwide on the Internet, in Britain, Ireland and parts of France, Belgium and The Netherlands via the Astra 2D satellite, and in the UK on DAB digital radio, cable television, and the Freeview digital terrestrial television platform.
