A "unique" and unmistakable aspect of Rai Radio Classica are the "announcements", which have always been particularly taken care of both in the text and in the diction, still carefully edited to comply with DOP - Dizionario di Ortografia e Pronunzia, which has been for decades the mandatory reference text for all those in Rai who spoke on the microphone.

From 7 November 2013, the night-time program schedule (from midnight to 2 am) was reserved for Euroclassic Notturno which took the place of the traditional high-night broadcast. This program, commissioned by European Broadcasting Union and produced by the BBC, offers the listening of recordings from the archives of the European Union radio stations participating in this initiative and which are not commercially available. This program was subsequently deleted.
