Launched in 1967, as a direct response to the growing popularity of offshore pirate stations such as Radio Caroline, Radio 1 set out to appeal to a younger audience which previously hadn’t been catered for by the BBC. The first DJ to broadcast on Radio 1 was Tony Blackburn and the station’s initial DJ line-up included the likes of Terry Wogan, Kenny Everett, Jimmy Young and Ed Stewart.



Throughout its 40 year history the station has continued its remit of bringing new music to its young listenership. DJs such as Steve Lamacq, Westwood, Trevor Nelson, Zane Lowe, Pete Tong and John Peel, have all played a major part in providing an outlet for fresh and exciting contemporary music.
