Radio 1.


Today we watched a film clip of the behind the scenes of the famous radio station Radio 1! I learned that when Radio 1 started it had only three channels. But as time went on and the 60's came closer... Radio 1 wasnt catering for the new pop music area in the market so Pirate Stations started to appear, one of the first was a station called Radio Caroline hosted by Tony Blackburn. So Radio 1 hit back with a new station on September 3rd 1967. Radio 1 has been entertaining people for yeasrs now, some of the producers running this station are Piers Bradford and Will Kinder! Some of the DJ's the station has are ...

Chris Moyles, Jo Whiley, Edith Bowman, Colin Murray, JK&Joel,
Zane Lowe, Scott Mills, Judge Jules and Vernon Kay!!
In the station the music is a big deal, so every Tuesday record companys take
some of there new songs to the radio 1 office to be listened to by a person to
decide wither it is good enought to be played on Main Radio. The main person
in charge of music is ... Alex Jones Donnely. Radio 1 is a very public station
holding festivals and gigs and there famous yearly weekend in Ibiza!!!
