Radio 1 Relax service discovered on BBC Sounds

 

This was discovered on the BBC Sounds app suggesting another Radio 1 pop-up station is on it's way.

Don’t think so much pop up but spin of from Radio 1 like Radio 1 Dance. Not a big fan of these streams but think could’ve brought in some Radio 3,1Xtra,6Music as could be used by many listeners. But how does this sound more distinct from a Smooth Chill or a mix on a music streamer

Could we see in coming weeks a Capital Chilled launched as Capital Dance launched days before Radio 1 Dance to be fair someone who listens to Pete Tong weekly would feel willing to switch to MistaJam so felt was a good move from Capital but will be interesting if there is a rival launched.

This explains the focus of late on chill; I suspect the idea is to compete with the likes of Global and their various themed services, so expect pushback from the usual suspects in commercial radio.

Yes think it’s competition with people young people now outsourcing more calming or chilled music and somewhat focused on mental health wellbeing aspect to deal with anxiety enters the realm of smooth, smooth Chilled, Virgin chilled but could put money on a Capital Chilled

This sounds great! (Excuse the pun). How does this work with the ofcom rules? Obvs anything on R1 Dance has to have already aired on Radio 1, some of the stuff in the press release sounds specifically made for r1 relax?

I think it’ll all be aired, some of it in the September changes, some of it presumably overnight tucked away?

Looking at it, it seems some of the content is already on BBC sounds

I find it’s something that seems a waste in spending if it isn’t new or original and will likely get small listeners perform to listen to shows on demand

Kind of explains why tonight’s the load of chill shows feel if they wanted to have this should’ve added some Radio 3, 1xtra and BBC 6M lose yourself on 6 music would work with this and Unclassified on R3 would work but don’t know whether I’m convinced

Again there's very little cost involved if the programming already exists - it just brings a new audience to stuff tucked away. Surely bringing more audiences to shows hidden away at night is a good use of money?

Seems pointless these streams are a short novelty that don’t think after a while get much use unsuoring when the content is on demand

Personally think the streams are a great idea. You can select the music type for your mood wether it be dance or chill. You don’t have to go searching through sounds to find a show and date. Let’s face it a stream whereby the content has already been broadcasted isn’t costing huge sums of money.

Yeh for these streams theres nothing new so kind of a waste of time doing so many playlists think overnight needs more experimental specialists since these streams it’s being messed into to many just playlist mixes which seem bit pointless since there’s so many different outlets which do the same think it’s lacking that there’s now not as much as in presenter curation and is loosing at that essential thing you can only get in radio that presenter bringing you that experitise that know how about that new artist is loosing something in curation and presentation of specialist music

Don’t know whether it’s oversimplifing it to the cost at over quality content and when you can find that stuff on sounds seems less original where there seems to be other outlets doing so much of the same think it’s hardly distinct for radio 1

It's sounding great so far, I feel like this is the BBC at their best: catering for audiences not well served by commercial competitors, and it's exactly what they should be doing in my opinion

More resourceful than what I thought actually it is providing something for the youth audience maybe something that will be good with mental health and wellness likely to be multi generational in reach but think due to how many of us young people have mental health challenges my self included anxiety so see a purpose. Glad quite a bit of original content than just with dance stream which is pretty much the Radio 1 dance playlist good there’s motivational bits and stuff with decompression stuff think sounds distinct from commercial offerings but how much is on Capital Chilled coming soon

What is the rule exactly for these streams? I read somewhere, that they can't air anything new, just repeats of R1 shows, is that actually right? If so, that's bad news for live shows on R1. And with the upcoming changes it will get even worse as it seems now.

Like R1 really aired this at one point? Radio 1's Relaxing ASMR - Water - BBC Sounds Content warning: this is the direct opposite of relaxing. No joke.

Ladies and gentlemen, the world famous new music station presents Instant Bathroom Break: The Show! :D

I know that rule definitely applied to Radio 1 Dance but the R1 Relax stuff doesn’t seem to have all aired previously although it’s definitely already on BBC Sounds before it airs so maybe that’s the rule. Some of the stuff seems to have come from 6 Music as well which is interesting, different stations sharing content. 
 

Personally I’ve never really listened to the R1 Dance stream but have to say I’ve been listening to R1 Relax pretty much every evening (and I’m very much the target audience) so think this is a great move from Radio 1. Been really enjoying it (not into the asmr stuff though, they can scrap that ?).

    • Tara Kumar is in for Alyx on Sunday 13th July.
    • Conor Knight & Lauren Layfield are in for Matt & Mollie on Monday 14th July.  Matt is solo on Tuesday 15th July.  Jerry is in for Mollie between Wednesday 16th & Thursday 24th July.  Maia Beth is covering Future Pop on Wednesday 16th & Wednesday 23rd July. On Sunday 27th July the Chillest Show is reduced to an hour, and 20.00-21.00 is a BBC Proms special with JADE. On Thursday 31st July 18.00-20.00 in place of Jack's show it's the Dance Party Warm-Up with Danny Howard (ahead of the Ibiza weekend).
    • Dean McCullough in for Greg w/c 4th August. James Cusack on EB.
    • Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter. 
    • Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?
    • Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.
    • Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!
    • Jamie Laing’s last show before his summer break will be on Wednesday 16th July.
    • I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days 
    • Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.
    • With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.
    • Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now 
    • Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday. 
    • As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.
    • Going Home presenters have done the last few years ?
