The first music to be heard on the station was an extract from "Beefeaters" by Johnny Dankworth. The reason jingles from PAMS were used was that the Musicians' Union would not agree to a single fee for the singers and musicians if the jingles were made "in-house" by the BBC they wanted repeat fees each time one was played. This was the first use of US-style jingles on BBC radio, but the style was familiar to listeners who were acquainted with Blackburn and other DJs from their days on pirate radio. Welcome to the exciting new sound of Radio 1. The first words on Radio 1 – after a countdown by the Controller of Radios 1 and 2, Robin Scott, and a jingle, recorded at PAMS in Dallas, Texas, beginning "The voice of Radio 1" – were: Īnd, good morning everyone. The first disc jockey to broadcast on the new station was Tony Blackburn, whose cheery style, first heard on Radio Caroline and Radio London, won him the prime slot on what became known as the Radio 1 Breakfast Show. Most were of comparatively low power, at less than 50 kilowatts, leading to patchy coverage of the country. Radio 1 was launched at 7:00 am on Saturday 30 September 1967.īroadcasts were on 1215 kHz AM (247 metres), using a network of transmitters which had carried the Light Programme. The new service was initially promoted in the summer of 1967 by trails (voiced by Kenny Everett) which referred to it as "Radio 247", the station's temporary working title. Radio 1 was conceived as a direct response to the popularity of offshore pirate radio stations such as Radio Caroline and Radio London, which had been outlawed by Act of Parliament. Radio 1 was established in 1967 (along with the more middle-of-the-road BBC Radio 2) as a successor to the BBC Light Programme, which had broadcast popular music and other entertainment since 1945. Īccording to RAJAR, the station broadcasts to a weekly audience of 7.7 million with a listening share of 4.7% as of December 2022.įurther information: Timeline of BBC Radio 1 First broadcast BBC Radio 1 started 24-hour broadcasting on.
