Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor Kris Partridge (G8AUU) who writes:

BBC Monitoring is leaving it's home of over 70 years and moving to Central London. On BBC Radio 4 yesterday I was listening as I drove home from a 'Breakfast' shift, 04h30 - 16h30 local ..!

It looks like it will be repeated tomorrow, Saturday, 08.July at 06h07. So via BBC iPlayer radio it should be possible to receive this programme.

Here is a link that will help your readers get the app for both iPhone or Android devices: https://iplayerhelp.external.bbc.co.uk/radio/download_availability

Programmes are usually available for 30 days after transmission, so if tomorrow's broadcast is missed "

Enjoy a programme that tells the 'history' of BBC Monitoring from WW2, thru the 'Cold War' to the present day.

Here also is an additional link of interest https://monitoring.bbc.co.uk/login and if you don't want to register straight away try the 'preview' facility https://monitoring.bbc.co.uk/?preview=true With the G20 taking place in Hamburg at this time, there will be some interesting commentary there.

Thank you so much for the tip, Kris!

I wish I could have had an opportunity to tour BBC Monitoring prior to the move from Caversham Park. Have any SWLing Post been there?
