  6. Radio 1 Stats

    in BBC Radio 1

    Posted

    Thats really interesting! I get a bit tired of Radio 1 in a day to be honest, so it's usually Moyles in the morning and then a couple of hours of scott from 4. I wouldn't listen to anything else, though. I'm sure that really Radio 1 is not station you listen to for a long time.

  7. Have 1tros been phased out?

    Agree... Music 4 have made the 1tros in the past but they've also stopped posting demos on their site in ages. I remember in the past 1tros were replaced with IDs, but it only happened for a week or so and then they were back. They've gone for nearly a month now - so they better come back! Hope they sort out with Music 4

  10. BBC Radio 1 - FX

    Well found! I think the package made at the moment sounds great - but it's still a shame at the 1tros have been taken off. I would like to know who makes the brand new IDs though.

    For 1,000£ i don't see why they paid so much for x-gen when they hardly use the beds!

    BBC Radio 1 has announced today that 15-minute editions of The Surgery* will be broadcast during its daytime programming, when this year's exam results are issued, to offer support and advice to those who have received their grades and are deciding what to do next.

    On the days that the GCSE, A Level, Standard & Higher results are announced, Aled Haydn Jones is set to host a special 15-minute Surgery during Fearne Cotton's weekday show (10am-12.45pm).

    During each mini Surgery, Aled, alongside an expert, will answer texts, take calls from listeners and give advice that will help students decide the next steps to take.

    Standard & Higher results come out on 5 August, A Levels results are issued on 19 August, followed by GCSE results on 24 August. On each of these dates, phone lines open from 10am and Aled and a team of experts will answer calls and offer advice and support to students before The Surgery begins on air. The number to call from 10am on each day is: 03700 100 100

    Listeners will also be able to get lots of advice on the recently re-launched Surgery advice website, at: bbc.co.uk/radio1/advice.

    Aled Haydn Jones says: "Exam results are a significant event in the lives of our young listeners, so it's important we reflect that throughout the day on Radio 1.

    "The mini Surgery specials will be a place where listeners can share experiences and we can give help, support and advice when it's needed."

    Radio 1 and BBC Radio 1Xtra's social action campaigns are an integral part of the stations' ethos and service to young people – offering support networks/information and a platform for young people to give their opinions.

    The stations have an exceptional reputation for raising awareness of different topics and for the information they provide. Recent campaigns have included body image, volunteering and The Summer Surgery.

    Radio 1 is available on FM, DAB, Digital TV and online at bbc.co.uk/radio1.

    Notes to Editors

    *The Surgery with Aled Haydn Jones is on every Sunday from 9-10pm on Radio 1

    **Standard rates apply. The Radio 1 text number is 81199 – network rates apply.

    dont like sara on shows, and im not too kein on scott mills (too much music) but Huw Stephens is really good on that show. shame greg's on daytime... he never really has anything interesting on.

    and theres nothing that compares to Moyles, so it'll be past shows on iplayer instead for the first week.

  17. New Newsbeat Imaging...

    in Radio 1 Geek Talk

    Posted

    it's a bidding process, so companies like Wise Buddah and Music 4 will send in their demos to hope to be broadcast. i spotted on the live camera a while ago that music 4 made the newsbeat imaging for this year. its a bit disappointing that they aren't putting much on their website, though.

    in BBC Radio 1

    Posted

    "Inspirational teenagers will be celebrated in a major two-week initiative on BBC Radio 1 this winter with a series of The Surgery specials, culminating in the station's first-ever Teen Awards. In November, The Surgery's Aled Haydn Jones will front a series of specials looking at the lives of a number of teenagers from across the United Kingdom who inspire others.

    Following the fortnight of special programmes, Radio 1 will hold the inaugural BBC Radio 1 Teen Awards, at Hammersmith Apollo in London, with awards for Teen Heroes* to recognise outstanding contributions by young people in the UK (as nominated by the station's audience) being presented alongside the awards for the top stars from the music and entertainment world in 2010.

    The star-studded event is set to feature performances from some of the biggest music stars in the teen world.

    A massive multiplatform event for the BBC, the awards ceremony is to be broadcast on both Radio 1 and on BBC Three, plus extensive online content will complement the coverage.

    Ben Cooper, Deputy Controller, Radio 1, says: "There's often a negative perception about teenagers, so these awards will celebrate some of the amazing and positive achievements of young people in the UK."
