A timeline of notable events relating to BBC Radio 1, a British national radio station which began in September 1967.

1960s

1970s

  • 1970
  • 1971
    • BBC Radio 1 launches its first promotion badges using the slogan "Go Radio 1 Better on 247".
    • BBC Radio 1 airs its first documentary, The Elvis Presley Story, narrated by Wink Martindale.
  • 1972
  • 1973
  • 1974
  • 1975
    • 6 January – Broadcasting hours are reduced due to budget cuts at the BBC. All evening programming stops on BBC Radio 1 and the station simulcasts BBC Radio 2 every evening from 7pm. Consequently, Sounds of the 70s ends and Bob Harris leaves the station for a while. Also the weekday afternoon programme, presented by David Hamilton, is broadcast on both stations and John Peel's show is moved to the drivetime slot.
    • 11 January – Alan Freeman broadcasts a live performance by Pink Floyd which featured a performance of The Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety. The performance was recorded at the Empire Pool on 16 November 1974.
    • September – The first edition of The Sunday Request Show is broadcast, hosted by Annie Nightingale. The show runs until 1979 before being reintroduced in 1982, running until May 1994.
    • 25 September – The final edition of Top Gear is broadcast.
    • 27 September – Paul Gambaccini, who joined the station the previous year, presents his first American chart countdown programme.
    • 29 September – Some late weeknight evening programming returns and John Peel's show moves back to late evenings. For this, BBC Radio 1 'borrows' BBC Radio 2's VHF/FM frequencies on weeknights again (having previously done so from October 1971 to December 1974, for shows hosted by Peel, Annie Nightingale and Bob Harris among others). This one hour on weeknights is the only time of the evening that BBC Radio 1 broadcasts its own programmes, and BBC Radio 1 now ends weekday transmissions an hour earlier, at 6pm.
    • Mike Smith joins.
  • 1976
  • 1977
    • 4 April – BBC Radio 1 extends its weeknight broadcasting hours. The station's daytime weekday programmes are extended by an hour to 7pm and the John Peel show is also extended by an hour, to two hours. Consequently, Radio 1 now borrows Radio 2's VHF/FM frequencies for two hours each weeknight – between 10pm and midnight.
    • 28 November – From today, BBC Radio 1 has its own all-day weekday schedule with the launch of a new afternoon programme presented by Tony Blackburn; David Hamilton's show, simulcast on both stations since January 1975, moves to BBC Radio 2 only. Tony is replaced on mid-mornings by Simon Bates. Consequently, BBC Radio 1 now has its own all-day schedule on weekdays. However the station continues to simulcast BBC Radio 2 each night from 7pm, apart from the weekday late night John Peel's programme.
    • Peter Powell joins.
  • 1978
    • Mike Read and Adrian Juste join, and Mike Smith and Alan Freeman both leave for a while to join Capital London.

    • 23 November – Radio 1 moves from 247m (1214 kHz) to 275 & 285m (1053 & 1089 kHz) medium wave as part of a plan to improve national AM reception, and to conform with the Geneva Frequency Plan of 1975.[5][6]
    • 22 December – Industrial action at the BBC by the ABS union, which started the previous day, extends to radio when the radio unions join their television counterparts by going on strike, forcing the BBC to merge its four national radio networks into one national radio station from 4pm, named the BBC All Network Radio Service. The strike is settled shortly before 10pm on the same day, with the unions and BBC management reaching an agreement at the government's industrial disputes arbitration service, Acas.[7][8][9][10]
  • 1979
  • Annie Nightingale's request show leaves the airwaves for a while.
    • 29 January – BBC Radio 1 begins its delayed weeknight mid-evening programme, with Andy Peebles joining the station to host the new programme. It had originally been scheduled to launch on 13 November 1978 but was delayed as a result of trade union disputes.
