BBC Genome and Radio Times

BBC Genome is a digitised, searchable database of programme listings initially based upon the contents of the Radio Times and was established in 1923 and concluded in 2009.

BBC Genome is not the BBC's first online searchable database; in April 2006 the BBC gave the public access to Infax, the BBC's programme database at the time. Infax contained around 900,000 entries, but not every programme ever broadcast, and it ceased operation in December 2007. The front page of the website is still available to see via the Internet Archive here. After Infax ceased, a message on the website said that it would be incorporating in the information into individual programme pages. In 2012, it was replaced by the database Fabric but this is only for internal use within the BBC.
