The Church of the Air

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

On 6 January 1924 the BBC broadcast its first church service. It now transmits five hours of worship each week. In his survey of broadcast worship, Chris Kay asks listeners and participants: Is there really a need for it? Has it changed much in the last 60 years? Should it change now? and members of the BBC
Singers talk about the hazards and pleasures of worship with an unseen congregation.
