Housewives' Choice was a BBC Radio record request programme, broadcast every weekday morning between 1946 and 1967 on the BBC Light Programme. It played a wide range of mostly popular music intended to appeal to housewives at home during the day. Like many other BBC radio shows in the era of very limited broadcasting competition, it achieved huge audiences, and is closely identified with the time in the public mind.
