Kaleidoscope (UK radio series)
- Kaleidoscope (UK radio series)
Kaleidoscope was a long running BBC Radio 4 Arts programme that finished with the major schedule changes that occurred in April 1998, which saw it replaced with Front Row (radio).When originally launched in the 1970s, it was intended to cover the arts and sciences in equal measure, but soon dropped its science coverage. It ran in a variety of slots over the years, including mid-evening, in the lead up to the 10pm news (allowing it to include live reviews of first nights) and in mid-afternoon (the latter starting out as a repeat of the previous night's edition), with the reasons given to justify each new timing frequently contradicting those given as an explanation of the previous move. Its successor Front Row is placed in Kaleidoscope's original 1970s slot between 7 and 8pm.
