This station was born in 1967 when there was a demand for music generated by pirate radio stations and when the average age of the UK population was 27. BBC Radio 1 targets people aged from 15 to 29, although since 2009 the average age of its audience in the UK is 30.

This station began broadcasting in 1967 and has had 24-hour transmissions since May 1991. It was launched to attract audiences from the pirate radio stations of the day and has always claimed its target listeners are aged 15-29, although the actual average age of the almost 10 million audience is 30.

To attract a younger age group, the station plays mainly current music through the day and more specialised new music at night. As a public service broadcaster, it is also required to provide news and offers hourly short bulletins and two 15-minute bulletins each day. It now broadcasts on FM and DAB frequencies as well as via TV providers and online.
