BBC Radio 1 has launched its own channel on BBC iPlayer, and will broadcast a range of on-demand programmes including interviews, Live Lounge performances, documentaries and other exclusive content.

Ben Cooper, Controller, Radio 1 and 1Xtra, commented 'If you love music, if you love star studded interviews, then you will love Radio 1's new programmes. I can't wait for us to represent visually the energy and diversity of young people's culture in UK society'.
