R3 'pips'

Does anyone know if there is a time when R3 broadcasts regular 'time pips',
and if so, when this is? I can't recall hearing these on R3 for some time
now, and when I've checked in recent days they weren't broadcast at
noon/1/2pm...
Reliably at 07:00 (when I used to get up at 06:30 which was until fairly
recently). I could hear the FM pips from the bedside clock/radio and the
DAB pips from the kit in the lounge. I'm not sure if that has changed
in the last couple of months (07:15 wake-up now).
I have some recordings I made for level calibration purposes. The amount
of LF rubbish that is present during the last pip, after they have opened
the mic. in continuity, is quite depressing.
