BBC Radio 5 Live (formerly styled BBC Radio Five Live) is the BBC's national radio service that specialises in live BBC News, phone-ins, and sports commentaries. It is the principal 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 1994 as a repositioning of the original Radio 5, which was launched in August 1990. It is transmitted via analogue radio in AM on medium wave 693 and 909 kHz (990 kHz at Cardigan Bay) - frequencies originally used by BBC Radio 2 from 23 November 1978 to 26 August 1990 - and digitally via DAB, digital television (satellite, terrestrial and IPTV) and via an internet stream. Due to rights restrictions, coverage of some events (in particular live sport) is not available on-line or is restricted to UK addresses.

The station broadcasts from the News Centre at BBC Television Centre with a small office in Manchester and a team of its own reporters based around the UK. The station will be moving in 2011, as part of a larger shift of some BBC resources, to MediaCityUK in Salford.

The first playing of The Midnight Beast's new track "Boy Band" on BBC Radio 1. November 7th. Thanks TMB! Lyrics: I see you baby, doin' the dance that I saw on the TV (Doin' your dance, I wonder what's goin' on in your pants) You know me baby, if I sing my song you're bound to recognise me (And you'll sing along, I wonder what's goin' on in your thong) Your heart is mine, notice that I'm, singin' you lines from one of our number one's When you get home, then you will know (Oh hell, can you not tell that) CHORUS: We're just another boy band, we'll tear your little sister's heart apart, we're just a fucking boy band, you might not like us but we're in the charts. And in a motherfucking boy band, the girls are underage but we don't care, and when you throw your panties at a boy band, after the shows we keep your underwear. Don't know if it comes as a big surprise But I'm the token rapper guy I just sing really high, needlessly randomly improvise And when our album flops, and all the hope around us dies, I'm the secret weapon that comes out and says that he likes kissing guys (What?) We may be men, like Action Man, our record label made us unable to --- CHORUS We're all doin' things that we know ain't right; we're wearing sunglasses at night We've got 100 fans, that's why we're better than your band The only fan you have is cooling you down and it seems to be the only thing that's moving around and around Just like a circle, we're simple yet we're known, we're also square, we <b>...</b>

Rachel Burden talks to Max Keiser about the G20 meeting recorded on March 15th 2009 WHEN GORDON BROWN SOLD BRITAINS GOLD www.financialsense.com However, much to the shock of Goldman Sachs and the central bankers, in 1999 gold stopped falling; and, because Goldman Sachs short position was so large, Goldman possibly could suffer catastrophic losses. This is when Englands then Chancellor of the Exchequer, Gordon Brown, on May 8, 1999 announced England would sell over 50 % of its gold reserves, 415 tons of the most precious metal on earth at the very bottom of the market. The decision to sell Englands gold thereby saved Goldman Sachs and insured the political future of Gordon Brown. Goldman Sachs is still in business and Gordon Brown is now the Prime Minister of Englandâproving that good things come to those who do the bidding of the powerful
