Line 56: ===Closure=== The BBC Forces Programme was replaced when the influx of American soldiers, used to a different style of entertainment programming, had to be catered for in the run up to '[[Normandy landings\|D-Day]]'. The replacement service was named the [[BBC General Forces Programme]] and was also broadcast on the [[shortwave radio\|shortwave frequencies]] of the BBC Overseas Service (which itself had been known until November 1939 as the BBC Empire Service, and it was relaunched again on 1 May 1965 as the [[BBC World Service]]). After [[Victory in Europe Day]], the frequencies of the former National Programme (200 and 1149 kHz) were taken over by the new [[BBC Light Programme]].
