This commenced in mid-February 1947 as an effect from the appalling <a href="/facts/Winter_of_1946%25E2%2580%259347_in_the_United_Kingdom/5x81b5xY">winter of 1946–1947 which saw a fuel shortage in the country</a> with the government enforcing electricity saving measures, one of which was losing one hour of broadcasting per day from the Light Programme.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:14" href="#fn:14"><sup>14</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:15" href="#fn:15"><sup>15</sup></a> Even after the fuel shortage had ended by spring 1947, the 11:00 pm closedown each night continued as <a href="/facts/BBC_Radio/xGSYXsyQ">BBC Radio</a> found itself in financial problems and needed to save money.
