In Tune is a British music magazine programme on BBC Radio 3. It is broadcast in the weekday "drive time" slot and features a mix of live and recorded classical and jazz music, interviews with musicians, and arts news. It is billed as "Radio 3’s flagship early evening music programme". It is broadcast live from the BBC's Broadcasting House in London, and has been noted for its relaxed, convivial style of presentation.
Each programme is followed by the "In Tune Mixtape", a 30-minute playlist of music compiled in the style of a mixtape with no presenter commentary. The playlist usually features an eclectic mix of classical works and other musical genres.
