Three radio identification programmes are described which are drawn from radio samples with accurate radio positions (< 2" arc rms). Optical identifications are being made on the basis of radio-optical positional coincidence alone, without regard to colour or morphology, using the UKST IIIa-J sky survey to a limiting magnitude of 22.5. Some preliminary results are presented.
