: The Money Programme
Jobs for PeaceGovernment policy in Northern Ireland has been to achieve peace and prosperity. The prosperity was to have come largely from industrial development.
One of the most important developments was the setting up of the Strathearn Audio Company. It was started in 1974 in a Catholic area of West Belfast. By now it should have been employing 1,200 people. Instead it has provided work for only 148. Those jobs have cost £63,000 each, and today Strathearn Audio is threatened with closure. In The Money Programme James Bellini reports from Belfast and examines what happened to the Strathearn plant.

: A Tale of Three Cities
2: Montreal' Canada appears to be drifting almost irrevocably towards disintegration....' Stark words from a Canadian TV reporter commenting on the country's gravest crisis: separatism.
In the second of this series looking at the impact TV is having in cities in conflict, Robert MacNeil returns to Montreal where he spent part of his childhood and witnessed the clash between French and English which led to the present crisis.
Montreal is one of the world's most Tv-saturated cities. It has 21 channels. During the future referendum which will decide whether Quebec separates from Canada, TV's role will be crucial. Already the national network has been accused of not contributing enough to national unity and its French service of separatist bias. Whatever the fate of the nation, television will be deeply involved.

About this project
This site contains the BBC listings information which the BBC printed in Radio Times between 1923 and 2009. You can search the site for BBC programmes, people, dates and Radio Times editions.
We hope it helps you find information about that long forgotten BBC programme, research a particular person or browse your own involvement with the BBC.
Through the listings, you will also be able to use the Genome search function to find thousands of radio and TV programmes that are already available to view or listen to on the BBC website.
There are more than 5 million programme listings in Genome. This is a historical record of the planned output and the BBC services of any given time. It should be viewed in this context and with the understanding that it reflects the attitudes and standards of its time - not those of today.
To read scans of the Radio Times magazines from the 1920s, 30s, 40s and 50s, you can navigate by issue.
