BBC Radio 1 was established in 1967 to play popular music appealing to young audiences. It broadcasts various show types across its schedule, including breakfast shows, news, music playlists, and specialty shows featuring genres like dance music. Radio 1 aims to entertain 15-29 year olds but also attracts some older listeners. It operates on a budget of £34 million from TV licenses and taxpayers, avoiding commercials. Capital Birmingham, founded in 1995, also targets 15-34 year olds with a mix of hit music, celebrity gossip, and local news. It plays mainstream pop but includes less popular genres overnight. Both stations use playlists and producer input to determine music selection across genres like pop, hip hop and rock.
