Radio 1 Vintage

Radio 1 Vintage was an on-line radio channel set up especially for the 50th anniversary of Radio 1 in September 2017. It was live on-line for three days only although programmes were also available on the BBC iplayer for 30 days afterwards.

The individual programmes ran for around 60 mins., each focusing on a particular Radio 1 D.J. or programme such as The Official Chart or Evening Session. Each DJ programme featured selected recordings and tracks covering their time at Radio 1, preceded by a spoken introduction by each one about how they came to the radio station, memorable moments etc. In the case of deceased DJs such as John Peel or Ed Stewart, the programme was introduced by their colleagues. Extended individual interviews were made available as podcasts for an 'indefinite' period.
