<p>When it started in 1946, the Third Programme broadcast for six hours each evening from 6.00 pm to midnight, although its output was cut to just 24 hours a week from October 1957, with the early part of weekday evenings being given over to educational programming (known as "Network Three"). The frequencies were also used during daytime hours to broadcast complete ball-by-ball commentary on <a href="Test_cricket" title="Test cricket">test match cricket</a>, under the title <i><a href="Test_Match_Special" title="Test Match Special">Test Match Special</a></i>.

</p><p>The Third's existence was controversial from the beginning, partly because of perceived "elitism" – it was sometimes criticised for broadcasting programmes of "two <a href="Academia" class="mw-redirect" title="Academia">dons</a> talking" – and also for the cost of its output relative to a small listener <a href="Reach_(advertising)" title="Reach (advertising)">reach</a>. Its existence was against the corporation's founding principles, as <a href="John_Reith%2C_1st_Baron_Reith" title="John Reith, 1st Baron Reith">Reith</a> himself had during his time at the BBC been against segmenting audiences by splitting programming genres across different networks. From the start, though, it had prominent supporters: the <a href="Secretary_of_State_for_Education_and_Skills" class="mw-redirect" title="Secretary of State for Education and Skills">Education Secretary</a> in the <a href="Clement_Attlee" title="Clement Attlee">Attlee</a> government, <a href="Ellen_Wilkinson" title="Ellen Wilkinson">Ellen Wilkinson</a>, spoke rather optimistically of creating a "third programme nation". When it faced those 1957 cuts, the Third Programme Defence Society was formed and its leaders included <a href="T._S._Eliot" title="T. S. Eliot">T. S. Eliot</a>, <a href="Albert_Camus" title="Albert Camus">Albert Camus</a>, and <a href="Laurence_Olivier" title="Laurence Olivier">Sir Laurence Olivier</a>.

</p><p>This situation continued until the launch on 22 March 1965 of the BBC Music Programme, which began regular daily broadcasts of <a href="Classical_music" title="Classical music">classical music</a> (with some interruptions for live sports coverage) on the Network Three / Third Programme frequencies between 7.00 am and 6.30 pm on weekdays, 8.00 am and 12.30 pm on Saturdays, and 8.00 am and 5.00 pm on Sundays. The Third Programme continued as a distinct evening service, and this continued to be the case for a short while after the inception of <a href="BBC_Radio_3" title="BBC Radio 3">BBC Radio 3</a> on 30 September 1967, before all the elements of the BBC's "third network" were finally absorbed into Radio 3 with rebranding effect from Saturday 4 April 1970.

<p>The network was broadly cultural, a <a href="F.R._Leavis" class="mw-redirect" title="F.R. Leavis">Leavisite</a> experiment dedicated to the discerning or "high-brow" listener from an educated, minority audience. Its founders' aims were seen as promoting "something fundamental to our civilisation" and as contributing to "the refinement of society".<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Its musical output provided a wide range of serious <a href="Classical_music" title="Classical music">classical music</a> and live concerts, as well as contemporary composers and <a href="Jazz" title="Jazz">jazz</a>; popular classical music such as <a href="Ludwig_van_Beethoven" title="Ludwig van Beethoven">Beethoven</a>, <a href="Wolfgang_Amadeus_Mozart" title="Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart">Mozart</a> and <a href="Pyotr_Ilyich_Tchaikovsky" title="Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky">Tchaikovsky</a> primarily remained on the <a href="BBC_Home_Service" title="BBC Home Service">Home Service</a> until 1964. Voice formed a much higher proportion of its output than the later Radio 3, with specially commissioned plays, poetry readings, talks and documentaries. Nationally known intellectuals such as <a href="Bertrand_Russell" title="Bertrand Russell">Bertrand Russell</a> and <a href="Isaiah_Berlin" title="Isaiah Berlin">Isaiah Berlin</a> on philosophy or <a href="Fred_Hoyle" title="Fred Hoyle">Fred Hoyle</a> on cosmology were regular contributors.

</p><p>The network became a principal patron of the arts, within commissioned many music works for broadcast by the BBC Music Department, playing an important role in the development of the career of composers such as <a href="Benjamin_Britten" title="Benjamin Britten">Benjamin Britten</a>. Particularly notable were its drama productions, including the radio plays of <a href="Samuel_Beckett" title="Samuel Beckett">Samuel Beckett</a>, <a href="Henry_Reed_(poet)" title="Henry Reed (poet)">Henry Reed</a> (the <a href="Hilda_Tablet" title="Hilda Tablet">Hilda Tablet</a> plays), <a href="Harold_Pinter" title="Harold Pinter">Harold Pinter</a>, <a href="Wyndham_Lewis" title="Wyndham Lewis">Wyndham Lewis</a>, <a href="Joe_Orton" title="Joe Orton">Joe Orton</a> and <a href="Dylan_Thomas" title="Dylan Thomas">Dylan Thomas</a>, whose <i><a href="Under_Milk_Wood" title="Under Milk Wood">Under Milk Wood</a></i> was written specially for the programme. <a href="Philip_O'Connor" title="Philip O'Connor">Philip O'Connor</a> discovered <a href="Quentin_Crisp" title="Quentin Crisp">Quentin Crisp</a> in his radio interviews in 1963. The series <i><a href="Inventions_for_Radio" title="Inventions for Radio">Inventions for Radio</a></i> aired in 1964 and 1965, with <a href="Sound_collage" title="Sound collage">sound collages</a> by <a href="Delia_Derbyshire" title="Delia Derbyshire">Delia Derbyshire</a> of the <a href="BBC_Radiophonic_Workshop" title="BBC Radiophonic Workshop">BBC Radiophonic Workshop</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <a href="Martin_Esslin" title="Martin Esslin">Martin Esslin</a>, BBC Director of Drama (Radio), was associated with the network's productions of <a href="Europe" title="Europe">European</a> drama, and <a href="Douglas_Cleverdon" title="Douglas Cleverdon">Douglas Cleverdon</a> with its productions of poetry and radio plays.

</p><p>The Third Programme's contribution to contemporary poetry and criticism was significant, under producers and presenters such as <a href="John_Wain" title="John Wain">John Wain</a>, <a href="Ludovic_Kennedy" title="Ludovic Kennedy">Ludovic Kennedy</a>, <a href="George_MacBeth" title="George MacBeth">George MacBeth</a> and <a href="Patrick_Dickinson" title="Patrick Dickinson">Patrick Dickinson</a>. It promoted young writers such as <a href="Philip_Larkin" title="Philip Larkin">Philip Larkin</a> and <a href="Kingsley_Amis" title="Kingsley Amis">Kingsley Amis</a>, as well as the "difficult" work of <a href="David_Jones_(poet)" class="mw-redirect" title="David Jones (poet)">David Jones</a> and <a href="Laura_Riding" title="Laura Riding">Laura Riding</a>. The Third Programme was for many years the single largest source of <a href="Copyright" title="Copyright">copyright</a> payments to poets.

</p><p>The decision to close down the Third Programme was opposed by many within the BBC, some of them senior figures. Within the music division, a "BBC rebellion" gathered force, with its most vocal members including <a href="Hans_Keller" title="Hans Keller">Hans Keller</a> and <a href="Robert_Simpson_(composer)" title="Robert Simpson (composer)">Robert Simpson</a>. Ultimately however, the attempt to prevent the culture-conscious Third being replaced by what Keller called "a daytime music station" proved unsuccessful.
