BBC Radio 1 part of a Guinness World Record attempt, in aid of Comic Relief. The pair stayed on air for 52 hours in total setting a new world record for 'Radio DJ Endurance Marathon (Team)’ after already breaking Simon Mayo's 12-year record for Radio 1's Longest Show of 37 hours which he set in 1999, also for Comic Relief. The presenters started on 16 March 2011 and came off air at 10:30am on 18 March 2011. During this Fearne Cotton made a bet with DJ Chris Moyles that if they raise over £2,000,000 she will appear on the show in a swimsuit.
BBC Radio Lincolnshire of Boston United and Gainsborough Trinity matches online. A weekly news bulletin in Portuguese was broadcast for migrant workers until July 2008. It was read by Rui Silva, who worked for Boston Borough Council. The station also simulcasts some programming with counterpart BBC Local Radio stations. During downtime, Radio Lincolnshire simulcasts BBC Radio 5 Live output including the nightly overnight show "Up All Night", the early morning news programme "Morning Reports" and "Wake Up to Money". The station is one of few to have a dedicated farming programme on Sundays at 7am, which it has had since the station began.
