LONDON, April 26 (Reuters) - North Sea Forties crude differentials were steady on Wednesday for a third session as traders awaited the release of loading programmes for June.

* Loading programmes for the North Sea grades that are already included in dated Brent are expected in the next few days.

PLATTS WINDOW
* Indications are on a free-on-board (FOB) basis unless marked as cost, insurance and freight (CIF) or delivered at place (DAP).
