History and launch

From as early as November 2019, reports showed that the BBC was considering launching 'spin-off stations' of their popular music stations in order to gain more listeners. [2] Jonathan Wall, controller of BBC Sounds, confirmed in February 2020 that Radio 1 Dance was to launch in spring 2020. [3] The launch was delayed due to BBC Radio 1 and sister station BBC Radio 1Xtra operating reduced broadcast schedules during an early part of the COVID-19 pandemic. [4]

The BBC announced in September 2020 that the Dance music stream would launch on 9 October 2020 with Annie Mac, Danny Howard and Pete Tong hosting a 4-hour dance marathon from 6 pm, simulcast on Radio 1 and Radio 1 Dance. [5]

The launch of Radio 1 Dance was met with criticism from commercial bodies. Andy Carter, chair of the All-party parliamentary group on Commercial Radio, said: "New services like Radio 1 Dance do not appear to meet the important public value tests that the BBC must observe." [6]

In late September 2020, following complaints from commercial bodies, Ofcom reviewed Radio 1 Dance, saying "we do not require the BBC to conduct a Public Interest Test [...] because we consider the impact of the Radio 1 Dance stream on the market is likely to be small, particularly given it will be online only and will contain no new or exclusive content." [7]

The BBC has since launched a further music stream on BBC Sounds in April 2021, Radio 1 Relax. [8] Radio 1 Relax closed on 24 July 2024. [9]

In February 2024, the BBC announced an expansion of Radio 1 Dance, with a launch on the BBC's existing DAB+ allocation towards the end of the year. [10] The plans are subject to the relevant regulatory approvals, including a Public Interest Test (PIT). The station's expanded content offer will include new commissions, with a quota of 45% of tracks coming from British artists, and a third of daytime music from new artists. Radio 1 Dance will also provide coverage of live events, including featuring new and upcoming DJs. [11]

Programming

At launch, programming on the stream was primarily repeated dance shows from BBC Radio 1. [12] The corporation adjusted the schedule infrequently during this time, with a relaunch of Friday night dance programming simulcast on the main Radio 1 network following the departure of Annie Mac in July 2021. [13]

In June 2024, it was announced by the corporation that a new schedule would launch from 15 July 2024. [14] This included new and exclusive shows for the stream, in preparation for an expected launch on the BBC's existing DAB+ allocation towards the end of 2024.

Arielle Free hosts Radio 1 Dance Morning, which streams from 9 am to 12 pm. This is followed by Radio 1 Dance with Connor Coates, a daily playlist broadcast from Belfast. This the first show on the stream to be regularly broadcast outside of London as part of the BBC's Across The UK strategy. [15]
