A specialist DJ takeover, free music concerts and the countdown of the BBC Sound of 2011 will be just some of the exciting content coming this January on BBC Radio 1 when the station takes listeners on a journey to discover new music in the New Year.

Kicking off on Monday 3 January, Radio 1 shakes up the schedule by handing over the entire week to the station's evening specialist shows.

Daytime will be turned on its head with Radio 1's new music DJs Zane Lowe, Annie Mac, Huw Stephens and Nick Grimshaw joining forces to share with listeners their big tips for 2011 and looking back at the artists they championed in 2010. The DJs' playlists will also give even bigger daytime exposure to newer artists.

The schedule from Monday 3 January to Friday 7 January will be:

7.00am-10am – Zane Lowe

10am-1pm – Annie Mac

1pm-4pm – Huw Stephens

4pm-7pm – Nick Grimshaw

For the first time ever, Radio 1 will exclusively reveal the winner of BBC Sound of 2011, one of the most anticipated events of the year.

The survey compiled from the views of music critics and industry experts aims to highlight some of the rising stars tipped for big things in the coming year.

On his special breakfast show, Zane Lowe counts down the top five most voted for acts throughout the week, culminating in the unveiling of the winner on Friday 7 January.

Live session tracks and interviews from the chosen five will also feature heavily across Radio 1 shows.

Ben Cooper, Deputy Controller, Radio 1 and Radio 1Xtra, says: "Supporting new music is extremely important to Radio 1. Over the last 12 months we have played a major part in breaking artists like The XX, Mumford & Sons, Plan B, Biffy Clyro and Marina & The Diamonds plus many more and 2011 will be no different. January will be exciting for Radio 1 as we turn the schedule on its head to bring our audiences even more brand new music and live events all month long."

BBC Introducing

Monday 10 January – Friday 14 January

BBC Introducing will also feature as part of BBC Radio 1's new music push with a range of activities.

Starting on 10 January, in an exciting move for the initiative, a BBC Introducing sourced artist will become part of the Radio 1 daytime playlist each week.

Selected by the Radio 1 music team via suggestions from the BBC Introducing Network and the Uploader (bbc.co.uk/introducing), an artist will be highlighted on the national network, receiving six plays in daytime shows.

Also this week, there will be a special BBC Introducing session recorded at the famous Maida Vale Studios.

Three Radio 1 specialist DJs – Huw Stephens, Pete Tong and Daniel P Carter – are teaming up with leading music magazines NME, Mixmag and Rock Sound to select the acts they think we'll be seeing more of in 2011. This will culminate in a special BBC Introducing programme on Wednesday 12 January at 9pm, with live tracks being played out across the week.

Could the daytime line-up be the future of Radio 1 when Mills/ Moyles leaves?

Yeah, how dare the DJs have a Christmas holiday, Viv. Bah Humbug to you.

I look forward to Zane on breakfast.

yeh, but I'm not really being scroogy. The "holidays" have got out of control, and some DJs - not pointing any elbows - need to make up their minds whether they want to be a DJ or go on the TV, or God knows what else.

From a listener point of view, I am growing increasing tired of my listening / entertainment time being mucked up.... and yes, I know they have every right to make all the money they can, especially during an on-going recession period.... but, that said,

Please.decide.if. you. wish. to. be. on. the. radio. or. not. Thank you.

Just leave Zane to night time, where he can unleash his uber enthusiasm, and new music, and not torment me first thing in the morning, when I have just got out of my bed.

Delta Machine, Depeche Mode - buy NOW !!

Viv needs to discover that sensitive area on every females anatomy...

'Pleasure palace'.

BTW... on the original press release it refers to the events happening 'this January'. Surely its next January as we're still in 2010... just an observation x

It's like me saying 'this Saturday' on Sunday, surely?

      Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe

      Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.

      To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday?

      It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week.

      Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!

      There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?

      Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.

      Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters

      Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.

      Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.

      Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.

      Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By AndyK77 · Posted

      Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
