Night Network

The Night Network was a late-night radio service in the United Kingdom that launched in 1986 and was primarily broadcast across a network of independent local radio (ILR) stations. It provided shared programming during the overnight hours when individual stations could not sustain their own output. The content typically included music, talk shows, and entertainment features, catering to a wide audience. The service was part of a broader trend in the 1980s and 1990s of cost-saving measures among local radio stations. It was eventually phased out as technology and programming strategies evolved.
