Euroclassic Notturno is a six-hour radio sequence of classical music recordings assembled by BBC Radio from material supplied by members of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and distributed, via the EBU's Euroradio network, to a number of these broadcasters for use in their overnight classical music schedules. The recordings used are not taken from commercially available CDs but come instead from earlier (usually live) radio broadcasts.[1]
Supplied by the BBC on a commercial basis, the service claims to provide broadcasters with a less expensive alternative to local origination of overnight classical-music programming.[1]
