From its first day of broadcasting in 1945 until Monday 2 September 1957, the Light Programme would be on the air from 9.00am until midnight each day, apart from Sundays when it would come on the air at 8.00am until 11.00pm.
There was however a period of a year when the Light Programme was forced to end their broadcasting day one hour earlier than normal at 11.00pm. This commenced in mid-February 1947 as an effect from the appalling [[Winter of 1946–47 in the United Kingdom|winter of 1946-1947 which saw a fuel shortage in the country]] with the government enforcing electricity saving measures, one of which was losing one hour of broadcasting per day from the Light Programme. Even after the fuel shortage had ended by Spring 1947, the 11.00pm closedown each night continued as [[BBC Radio]] found themselves in financial problems and needed to save money. The midnight closedown of the Light Programme resumed one year later from Sunday 11 April 1948.<ref>[https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/page/0317d317dd674879be093156115c93a7?page=9] {{
From Monday 2 September 1957, the Light Programme's broadcasting hours would start to increase, with a new early morning start time of 7.00am until midnight, later moving to 6.30am from Monday 29 September 1958. In 1964, broadcasting hours were increased even more, with a new morning start time of 5.30am from Monday 31 August. Up until September 1964, the Light Programme would always end its broadcasting day at midnight; however this changed on Sunday 27 September 1964, when a new closedown time of 2.00am was introduced.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/light/1964-09-26|title=Light Programme - 26 September 1964 - BBC Genome|website=genome.ch.bbc.co.uk}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/light/1957-09-02|title=Light Programme - 2 September 1957 - BBC Genome|website=genome.ch.bbc.co.uk}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/light/1958-09-29|title=Light Programme - 29 September 1958 - BBC Genome|website=genome.ch.bbc.co.uk}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/light/1945-07-29|title=Light Programme - 29 July 1945 - BBC Genome|website=genome.ch.bbc.co.uk}}</ref>
