| DIY RADIO TIMES | |||||||||||
| There was a time not so
very long ago, when The Radio Times was the definitive
source of information about what was on the box (and the
radio). More recently the Sunday papers have taken to
printing their own TV & radio listings. BBC ALERT You can now have what is in effect your personalised edition of The Radio Times emailed to you for free. It only covers BBC TV & radio, but you can completely customise it's content. If you are only interested in gardening programs BBC Alert will forewarn you and give a thumbnail sketch of their contents. Visit http://www.bbc.co.uk/cgi-bin/alert/settings.pl for your personal copy G. |
