📖 BBC Radio One About

BBC Radio 1, established on September 30, 1967, emerged as a response to pirate radio stations. It broadcasts on FM frequencies across the UK and is also available on DAB and online via BBC Sounds. The station's initial purpose was to provide pop music for young people, contrasting with the more mature focus of BBC Radio 2. Early DJs such as Tony Blackburn and John Peel shaped Radio 1's identity. It presents short news bulletins, entertainment features, interviews, and comedy segments. Specialist shows focus on specific genres or themes, such as dance music and new music. Furthermore, Radio 1 hosts live music events, including the annual 'Radio 1's Big Weekend' festival. Current key presenters include Greg James, who hosts the breakfast show, Clara Amfo who hosts the mid-morning show and Rickie, Melvin and Charlie who host the drivetime show. 'Radio 1's Future Sounds' showcases emerging artists.
