This is quite a big question! There is a matrix of the supported formats for the the programmes pages somewhere but I'm not sure if it is up to date. As a rule of thumb brands/series/episodes pages all have RDF versions and schedules and collections have XML/JSON/YAML. Where XML, JSON and YAML are all generated from the same template, so where one exists, so do the others.
The difference between Radio 1 and Radio 4 is that Radio 4 has multiple outlets. Here are some more examples: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/programmes/schedules/fm.xml http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/programmes/schedules/lw.json http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/programmes/schedules/fm/2009/06/05.xml http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcone/programmes/schedules/london.xml http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbctwo/programmes/schedules/england.xml There is a full list of services here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/services.xml http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/programmes/services.xml http://www.bbc.co.uk/tv/programmes/services.xml I hope this helps. nick.
