BBC Radio 5 (former)
BBC Radio 5 was a BBC radio network that carried sport, children's and educational programmes.
It was transmitted via analogue radio on 693 and 909 kHz, and lasted for three years and eight months. The success of BBC Radio 4's coverage of the Gulf War, on a service known as Scud FM, demonstrated the popularity of a 24-hour radio news service. Shortly after, Radio 5 was replaced by a rolling news and sport station, named BBC Radio 5 Live, in March 1994.
