BBC Radio 4 to launch Extra station.
The BBC is preparing to forge ahead with plans to rebrand digital station Radio 7 as a spinoff network to Radio 4, but the move is expected to face opposition from the industry.
According to the Daily Telegraph, the new station will launch (in) spring (2011) and broadcast a schedule more closely aligned to Radio 4.
