Radio 1 Launch CSP: Blog Tasks

Historical, Social and Cultural Contexts


1) BBC offered radio stations before 1967 such as BBC Radio Home (1939-1967), BBC Radio Light (1945-1967), BBC Third (1946-1970).

2) BBC radio was reorganised in September 1967 by BBC Radio Home being replaced by Radio 4, BBC Radio Light being replaced by Radio 2 and BBC Third being replaced by Radio 3.

3) Pirate Radio stations were in international waters, so they did not have to follow any UK rules. Pirate Radio became popular as 'Pop' music was becoming more popular and attitudes in young people were becoming more relaxed. 

4) Pirate Radio stopped broadcasting in 1967 due to it being outlawed by the government. 

5) BBC attracted young audiences to Radio 1 after Pirate Radio stations were closed down by offering more popular music which young people were interested in.

6) 'Needle Time' meant people could only listen to music 5 hours a day
