History

Money Box began in October 1977 with Louise Botting as presenter. It was the first personal finance radio programme, and even today in the UK, it is one of the few. The programme You and Yours, also on Radio 4, also includes much about personal finance, fraud and scams. Money Box Live launched in 1990.

Transmission

Each Saturday Money Box is broadcast live in the half hour slot just after 1200 local time with news and information about personal finance in the United Kingdom. It is repeated on Sunday evenings just after 2100 local time.

Money Box Live

There is also a phone in programme Money Box Live answering listeners' calls and emails on one personal finance topic which changes each week. Money Box Live is broadcast on Wednesdays in the half hour slot just after 1500 local time. Vincent Duggleby also presents.

Money Box and Money Box Live are broadcast each week throughout the year except for six weeks from mid-July to late August. Both programmes are also available live over the internet and the current episodes can be listened to via the website for seven days from transmission. A podcast can be downloaded. Transcripts and summaries of programmes back to 2000 are available.
