It is the principal BBC radio station covering sport in the United Kingdom, broadcasting virtually all major sports events staged in the UK or involving British competitors. Radio 5 Live was launched in March as a repositioning of the original Radio 5 , which was launched on 27 August Due to rights restrictions, coverage of some events, particularly live sport, is not available online or is restricted to UK addresses. Initially the plan was to broadcast a rolling news service on BBC Radio 4 's long wave frequency; but this met with considerable opposition, both internally and externally, [4] so the BBC decided to close BBC Radio 5 and replace the old service's educational and children's programmes with a new news service, whilst retaining the sports programmes. The first voice on air, Jane Garvey , later went on to co-present the breakfast and drive-time shows with Peter Allen. The Times described the launch as "slipp[ing] smoothly and confidently into a routine of informative banter" [5] and The Scotsman as "professionalism at its slickest". The news of the first day was dominated by the fatal stabbing at Hall Garth School near Middlesbrough , the first of many major incidents which the network covered live as they unfolded.
