both the national programme and the regional programme provided a mixed mainstream radio service. whilst the two services provided different programming, allowing listeners a choice, they were not streamed to appeal to different audiences, rather, they were intended to offer a choice of programming to a single audience. while using the same transmitters, the national programme broadcast significantly more speech and classical music than its successor, the light programme. similarly, the regional programme broadcast much more light and dance music than its successor, the home service.
