Since these posts, BBC Local Radio no longer broadcasts local or regional programming of any kind after 10pm and on a Sunday, national programming commences even earlier following the England-wide launch of Doton Adebayo's Sunday evening BBC Radio London show.

I find it strange that BBC Local Radio doesn't just broadcast 5 Live during the evening and overnight like it used to to until the late 1980s when stations handed over the Radio 2 at at 6pm or 7pm and earlier at the weekend, especially over the summer. Why go to the expense of having to pay for an England-wide programme a d reinvest the money saved back into local coverage..
