- Popular U.K. music channel to debut on SIRIUS this summer - Subscribers will hear channel in its entirety

June 21, 2005 8:00 AM ET

NEW YORK, June 21, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- SIRIUS Satellite Radio announced today an agreement to broadcast the British Broadcasting Corporation's popular modern music channel Radio 1. The agreement, with BBC Radio International, part of the U.K. broadcaster's commercial arm BBC Worldwide, will bring many Americans their first opportunity to listen to the influential and highly acclaimed radio channel.

BBC Radio 1 will be broadcast with a time-shift on SIRIUS, so that most Americans can enjoy the channel's lineup as it was intended -- with Chris Moyles' Breakfast Show in the morning, Scott Mill's show in the afternoon, and kicking off the weekend with Pete Tong's Friday night Essential Selection.

"Radio 1 on SIRIUS will be a unique entertainment offering unmatched in the U.S.," said Scott Greenstein, SIRIUS President of Entertainment and Sports. "It is renowned for its support of up-and-coming British artists, and reflects the enormously vibrant British music scene in its daily programming and special events. SIRIUS subscribers will soon be able to hear Radio 1's cutting-edge music in their cars, homes or other locations."

BBC Radio 1 plays a mix of current pop, rock, R&B and hip-hop music, and extensively covers music events taking place worldwide. BBC Radio 1 features many exclusive interviews, as well as live broadcasts of performances and unique studio sets from some of the hottest artists on the international music scene. The channel has a weekly audience of more than 12 million in the U.K.*, and is consistently recognized for the quality of its on-air hosts and the information and entertainment it presents.

David Moody, Director of Strategy and Business Development at BBC Worldwide, said: "We're delighted to be working with SIRIUS on adding one of the U.K.'s most established radio brands to its high quality radio line-up. The arrangement benefits from Radio 1's strong programming and brand combined with SIRIUS' cutting edge delivery technology and established U.S. audience. We look forward to exploring further opportunities together in the future."

BBC's Radio 1 will be made available on SIRIUS later this summer, and joins an exciting lineup of exclusive programming on SIRIUS. For more information, visit http://www.sirius.com.

Hmm, this will be kinda weird, I mean I can understand why they would do this to make clocks match up and all, but seeing as I can listen on the BBC website in real time, it's going to be kinda odd to always be 4 to 5 hours off.

Now if only cable/sat TV would do the same, I want to see at least BBC 1 & 2, maybe even ITV, hey, while I'm asking for things, how about TV-Tokyo!

Not a big fan of "time shifting" or as we used to call it "tape delay". It'll be nice to hear moyles(IMHO, better than most US "Breakfast Shows") at a decent hour.

This is great! Even though Sirius Hits One kicks KISS-FM's butt, U-Pop was the only XM station that I wish Sirius carried.

too many people would get confused if they heard an afternoon show in the morning...and the audience for the morning show would suck...you would have to time shift with it

My big question is that will it be all current Radio1 shows(Everthing from moyles to the UK chart show) or will it be a "highlights" channel?
 
From the original post:
"Subscribers will hear channel in its entirety".

Man! I subscribe to XM, but this might just be the thing to get me to have a Sirius set too! I chose XM because the BBC World Service feed on XM isn't the All News feed carried on Sirius.

Pete Tong's Essential Selection I thought was on XM's 80 The Move but I've never heard it there.

Sod Howard Stern, Radio 1 kicks the a** off of most radio stations round here, so I think a Roady-like set may be added to the collection very soon.

Mark.

I'd still like to hear many of the major cities big stations as channel
selections, in the U.S., but i guess the lawyers would have a field day...
don't you find that part shameful?

Welcome aboard BBC1 and excuse me, XM? ... it's YOUR move.

>In the beginning, XM had a Mix Station from Houston, TX, light fm from New York City, KISS from Los Angeles, and I think maybe there was a country station from Nashville-but I guess people just didn't want to listen to those stations, as they took them off their programming.

They went in-house with them; created commercial free versions.
KIIS-FM became KISS-XM
WLTW became The Bland
KHOU became Mix-XM
WSIX became Nashville
WOL, The Power, is still on stream 169<P ID="signature">______________

I hope that BBC 2 will also come on board soon

Heres my question..when is radio 1 going on and what channel has it been designated?
 
Carrying Everything, I understand.

I understand they will be carrying everything, but time-shifting it so that, say, the Breakfast Show comes on at breakfast time for us as well.
