Omnibus editions of radio shows

user-250

Does the BBC have any logic in which programmes have an omnibus edition?  They don't always call it an omnibus edition either.

user-2

For anyone else: use get_iplayer --type radio --fields="name,episode" omnibus to search for omnibus editions. The word "omnibus" sometimes appears in the episode title rather than the programme name.

EDIT: Whatever logic is applied is known only to BBC schedulers.

Thanks, obviously really.

What I was actually asking is "Why do they sometimes make a weekly omnibus of (say) the 15minute drama, but other times not"
