The first edition of In Touch, the magazine programme for visually impaired listeners, was broadcast on 8 October 1961. The programme promised to "keep blind listeners in touch with books, plays, records of special interest, and new gadgets." Initially, the programme was on once a month, tucked away on Network 3. As its combination of entertainment and sound consumer advice gained popularity, In Touch moved, first to the Home Service and then in 1971 to become a weekly show.
