[For those unfamiliar, the current pages are at:
<http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/schedule/>]

That's splendid news. Please also consider hCard for contact details,
and hAtom for schedule listings.

>And we're wondering if a network/service (BBC 1, Radio 4, Radio 1 etc)

If I enter a radio or TV programme in my diary programme, I use
"location" to note what you call the "network/service".


While not a microformat. you might also consider using "link" headers.
or adding "rel" attributes to existing links, to indicate previous
(rel="prev"), next (rel="next") and parent (rel="up") pages, etc. See:

        <http://www.westmidlandbirdclub.com/diary/2007/02/htm>

for examples and please fell free to e-mail me privately if you need
further pointers.
