You
may have heard Joe Duffy's segment the other day on Liveline about the BBC
Shipping Forecast, broadcast at 00:48 on BBC Radio 4, before the station
closes down at 1 am. On LW, the frequency then carries the BBC World
Service. For some, the forecast is like a soothing mantra, the
repetitive structure and intonation or melody of the words easing them
off to sleep. In this documentary, local man Al Ryan who is a BBC
presenter, amongst others, speak about the forecast which celebrates its
centenary this January.
