BBC Radio 5 Live is the BBC's national radio service that specialises in live BBC News, phone-ins, interviews and sports commentaries. It is the principal radio station covering sport in the United Kingdom, broadcasting virtually all major sports events staged in the UK or involving British competitors. Radio 5 Live was launched in March 1994 as a repositioning of the original Radio 5, which was launched on 27 August 1990. It is transmitted via analogue radio in AM on medium wave 693 and 909 kHz and digitally via digital radio, television and via an Internet stream. Due to rights restrictions, coverage of some events (in particular live sport) is not available on-line or is restricted to UK addresses. The station broadcasts from MediaCityUK in Salford〔(Radio 5 Live move to Salford delayed ) guardian.co.uk, 19 March 2010〕 and is a department of the BBC North division. ==History== The success of Radio 4 News FM during the first Gulf War (1991) led the BBC to propose the launch a rolling-news service. After many arguments, both internal and external,〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Jenny Abramsky Oxford lecture two ) 〕 the BBC closed their fifth radio network, BBC Radio 5, and replaced the old service's educational and children's programmes with a new news service, whilst retaining the sports programmes. The new BBC Radio 5 Live began its 24-hour service at 5am on Monday 28 March 1994. The first voice on air, Jane Garvey, later went on to co-present the breakfast and drive-time shows with Peter Allen. ''The Times'' described the launch as "slipp() smoothly and confidently into a routine of informative banter"〔 〕 and ''The Scotsman'' as "professionalism at its slickest".〔 〕 The news of the first day was dominated by the fatal stabbing at Hall Garth School in Cleveland, the first of many major incidents which the network covered live as they unfolded. The tone of the channel, engaging and more relaxed than contemporary BBC output, was the key to the channel's success and set the model for other BBC News services later in the decade. The first audiences were some four million, with a record audience of six and a quarter million. Among the key editorial staff involved in the design of programme formats and recruitment of staff for the new station were Sara Nathan, later editor of Channel 4 News, and Tim Luckhurst, later editor of The Scotsman newspaper and currently Professor of Journalism at the University of Kent.〔(Our Staff ) University of Kent〕 In 2000, the station was rebranded with a new logo which would remain with the station for another seven years. In addition, on 2 February 2002 a companion station, BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra, was launched as a digital-only service to complement the range of sport and to avoid clashes; previously BBC Local Radio stations and the long wave frequency of BBC Radio 4 were used.〔(The Many Lives of BBC Radio Sport ) Transdiffusion〕 Throughout this period, Five Live gained several awards including five Sony Awards in 2005; the single gold award was for its coverage of the 2004 Asian tsunami in the News Story Award category alongside another four silver awards and six nominations. The station also began to further its boundaries with the publication of the ''Radio Five Live Sporting Yearbook''.〔(Radio Five Live sporting yearbook 2005 ) Barnsley Libraries, ISBN 0-00-721598-3〕 In August 2007, BBC Radio 5 Live was given a new logo in line with the rest of the BBC Radio network,〔(New logos for BBC Radio - cool or balls? ) guardian.co.uk, 8 August 2007〕 and a new background design featuring diagonal parallel lines. In 2008 the BBC announced that the station would move to MediaCityUK in Salford.〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「BBC Radio 5 Live」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
