Radio 1

Radio 1 has been going for years now from early 1900's maybe 1920's. This at one point was a very controversial radio station as it was sending out illigal broadcast's all the time.

When the 1960's came there was a giant culture shock, it was like the beggining of a new era. No one wanted to play the music that was coming from this era so Radio 1 decided they would like to play this music on air.

The Radio station was out on a boat and is known as "pirate broadcasting" it was illegal but because they werent within 7 miles they couldnt be charged for it. There was a well know DJ on the radio 1 boat named Tony Blackburn. Eventually they got rid of this law and Radio 1 got its head quaters in London.

Radio 1 is one of the most known raido stations in the UK. It has quite alot of people that go on air but there is a few well known ones compared to the rest for example, Chris Moyles and Jane Wiley. This would possibly be the most popular radio station in the UK.
