While we wait for Ofcom to deliver the new BBC Performance Framework and Operating Licences, there are some changes at Radio 1 that suggest the direction of travel.
Boss Ben Cooper is creating a new 9-11pm show, Monday to Thursday, featuring Charlie Sloth, to be simulcast across Radio 1Xtra. It will undoubtedly have more speech than the current offering on either network. Eight hours simulcasting saves some money. There's also promises of more daytime outings for social action programming. And there'll be three new hour-long podcasts a week, offering comedy and entertainment - and helping to fill the night hours.
