BBC Radio 3

BBC Radio 3 is a national radio station in the United Kingdom and part of the British Broadcasting Corporation. The station plays mainly classical music like opera and Chamber music, but also jazz and sometimes drama, such as pieces of Shakespeare.

The motto of Radio 3 was once: "As long As it takes". There are often broadcast pieces as a whole, and not just the popular parts of it. This is one of the biggest differences between this station and its commercial rival Classic FM. at times when there is no music is broadcast there are programs with discussions on pieces and designs it. There are also occasional programs broadcast with a lighter tone.
