From 1974 to 1979 the programme was known simply as Pebble Mill. During the February 1974 election campaign, the lunchtime news was extended from five minutes to 15. However the bulletin still began at 12.55pm. The result, of course, was that Pebble Mill at One actually went on air at 1.10pm. The programme's name was temporarily amended in Radio Times. From September 1974 the programme's regular title was actually changed. However the normal transmission time never varied.
