  • BBC Radio 2 Beatles BBC Radio 2 Beatles
    RADIO MUSIC BBC Radio 2 Beatles BBC Radio 2 Beatles Last September BBC Radio 2 produced a spin off four-day Beatles Pop-Up DAB service marking the 50th anniversary of the release of the iconic Abbey Road album, broadcast from Abbey Road Studios, and celebrating the Fab Four as a group, as individual artists, and as songwriters, with a mix of live shows, simulcasts (with the parent network), and classic content from the extensive R2 & Apple Records archive. This was a partnership between R2 and Apple/Universal Music, and because of the place the band hold in the hearts of the public, it was an opportunity to invite talent from right across BBC Radio (Scott Mills, Lauren Laverne, Zoe Ball, Nicky Campbell and Greg James), and the music and entertainment industries (Dave Grohl, Gary Barlow, Grace Dent, Jack Savoretti, Paul Merton, John Bishop, Katie Melua and Guy Garvey), to share their love of the band, and their music catalogue. By utilising these names, alongside radio brands like Desert Island Discs, Mastertapes & Sunday Love Songs, we could not only target the band’s evergreen fans, but also a new younger 25-44 demographic. We also weaved complimentary simulcasts into the schedule, kicking off with the UK’s most popular radio programme, the Ken Bruce Show, live from Abbey Road, and then a special live concert from Studio 1, featuring presenter Guy Garvey (who also performed), the BBC Concert Orchestra, Rick Astley, Mark King from Level 42, Ruby Turner and Cerys Matthews, all interpreting classic Beatles songs in front of a small audience of competition winners.

His challenge will see him attempt to scale three of the UK’s highest peaks and cycle the mammoth distance between them. Since setting off on Monday, Greg has battled some of the most extreme weather conditions ever faced by a Sport Relief challengee, as the ‘Beast from the East’ has swept across the nation. With temperatures plummeting, the DJ powered through snow blizzards and howling winds as he struggled to reach the summit of England’s highest peak, Scafell Pike. Alex Burkill, Meteorologist at the Met Office, said:" Of all the weeks to choose from Greg’s entire broadcasting career, weather wise this is the worst. Today he can expect further heavy snow showers and even windier conditions than he's experienced so far. With gale force gusts up to 50mph at the top of Scafell Pike, it will feel colder than -20C." Sport Relief trainer, and former Olympian Professor Greg Whyte said: “This is the worst weather we’ve ever had on a Sport Relief challenge.

  • Name of Person
    Alex Towers Director BBC Trust Unit 180 Great Portland Street London W1W 5QZ 21 August 2015 Dear Alex Radio 1 presence on iPlayer I wrote to you late last year about the new Radio 1 iPlayer service which was launched in November 2014 following regulatory approval from the BBC Trust. At the time I outlined the concern of some commercial radio operators that the volume of content being made available appeared to be much greater than proposed originally and that no full Market Impact Assessment (MIA) had taken place. I attach that letter for reference. I am writing to you again as it seems the Trust may have missed the opportunity – identified by Ofcom in its original Significance Test in September 2014 – to return to this issue and consider the role of this service alongside online content provided by the BBC for younger audiences (most notably BBC Three) in your current consultation on the proposed changes to BBC Three and other TV and online services. I note that Ofcom previously advised that the Public Value Test on BBC TV changes (regarding BBC1+1, BBC Three, BBC iPlayer and CBBC) would be an ‘opportunity for the Trust to revisit the framework within which the iPlayer operates and develops…(as) the changes relating to BBC Three would be likely to interact with the Proposals considered…(and) a series of separate smaller changes may have a cumulative effect in the way… younger audiences interact with the BBC, with implications for the effect on providers of other services.’ Therefore I would have expected Radio 1 iPlayer to be considered within one of the two versions of this consultation, due to the nature of the subject matter and its obvious overlap with on online only BBC Three.
