Ta. Intriguingly the other URL works for radios 1,2,3 and 6music.

See all programmes on a service with broadcasts +/- 7 days from now at /:service/programmes/a-z http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/programmes/a-z http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/programmes/a-z Add /all to remove the 7 day restriction, or /player to show just the programmes with episodes available in iPlayer: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/programmes/a-z/all http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/programmes/a-z/player Search within a service by adding "/by/:search" after "/a-z": http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/programmes/a-z/by/e http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcone/programmes/a-z/by/doctor http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbctwo/programmes/a-z/by/food/all Or search within all radio, all tv (soon), or all BBC services: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/programmes/a-z/by/chris/player http://www.bbc.co.uk/tv/programmes/a-z/by/east (soon) http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/a-z/by/skating/all With one known and soon to be fixed exception, all the /programmes pages should be valid XML (and XHTML!), and hopefully easy to process with XPath etc. Not new, but you can fetch schedule data through the /programmes site. Today's schedules: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/programmes/schedules/fm http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbc7/programmes/schedules Or a schedule for a particular date: http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/programmes/schedules/2008/04/28 http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbctwo/programmes/schedules/england/2008/05/22 (Unfortunately, BBC One and BBC Two data outside the London and England regions can be patchy; we're working on improving that.) Add .xml to the end of a schedule URL to get an XML representation, or .json for JSON. The format of the .xml and .json representations isn't fixed yet, but we're interested in any feedback from people using them.
