Sailing By
Sailing By is a short piece of music composed by Ronald Binge, played each night on BBC Radio 4 at around 0045 before the late Shipping Forecast. Its tune is repetitive, assisting in its role of serving as an ident for mariners tuning in to be able to easily identify their station.

It also functions as a buffer - depending on when the final news bulletin before closedown finishes, Sailing By (or part of it) is played as a 'filler' as the shipping forecast starts at 0048 precisely.
