Radio 1 90's Jingles

[dheppleston]

I agree with most of the comments on here. Radio 1 is not the popular station it used to be. Despite what the polls may indicate, Radio 2 has taken over the top spot for the best UK radio station.

[usernameatthemoment]

Golden Hour jingles!

[SpiritKnob]

Many of the people who whinge about the way that Radio 1 changed were out of the target audience before it was revamped. It had to change, because it had been the same old stuff for decades. I don't like a lot of Radio 1 now, but it's not aimed at me, and I realise that.

[coltsuperocean10]

....Bring back Mark & lard!!

[MistahLee29]

Radio 1 is utter dog turd.  You've got shite like Scott Mills, Chris Moyles, etc. I'd rather listen to my local radio station and that is also utter crap

[ntmdisco]

radio 1 went downhill when matthew banninser took over and sacked all the old djs. then in july 1994 they shut down the am 1053/1089 wavelength. they lost millions of loyal listeners. meanwhile radio 2 was growing in popularity from 1996 and by 2000 they overtook radio 1 to become the most popular station in the uk and still is today because it was changed slowly and they adoped the 1990 radio 1 format, ratings by day, reputation by night.

[bluemusicpeace]

@ntmdisco I agree radio 2 is better. But then again non-commercial/ mainstream music is better now! All the good music used to get recognised in its time now its...shite mainstream...

[BenAdams1983]

Any chance we could use this at an employment tribunal against Bannister for breach of promise?

[scottvideos100]

This was the best station in it Hay day, Steve Wright afternoon show on Radio 1 and two decade later he now on Radio 2. Plus Dave Lee Travis Bruno Brookes, Jackie Brambles and the list goes on. In the world of digital computer techonolgy. Radio 1 is no longer Britain favourite radio station, As Radio 2 over tooke Radio 1.. Long gone are the days of happy sound Radio 1..

[AnthonyUK]

Radio 1 today makes for a very painful long journey that makes you want to harm yourself. Before it was Bannistered it was great.

[Ackworth97]

@AnthonyUK and he typically got his own show on BBCR2

[moonface1500]

good jingles but aint it funny how radio 1 came out with new jingles just after radio caroline was shut down

[Gibbymyson]

Chris Morris on Radio1 was brilliant, Do search the internet for the recordings, worth a listen.

[leepenfold]

Johnny Beerling was The Best Radio 1 Controller 1985-1993 He Had the Biggest Audince on 1fm

[AnthonyUK]

@leepenfold very true.

[eclectica1]

Listening to these is bringing back memories. Haven't heard them for years, but yet I find myself humming and singing along. Like unlocking a long unused part of my brain.

[raymondo1992]

Radio 1 play to many chav records now .all the rnb and the uk equivalent of it.That might be what young people listen to but it is low quality music

[voxtoneonline]

make your own radio commercials via the audio through VoxTonePRO dot come.  google the word VoxTonePRO.

[rallykink]

Mr Mad here ill tell you who's mad anyone who tunes in to radio 1 now, the last 10 years has seen some of the shitist dj ever, if you are a crap dj apliy with in.

[worotan]

Radio one was always shit, and it still is. No real change, always was cheesy, still cheesy. I stopped listening to it in 1986, and from what I've caught since then, it remains as idiotic and childish as it always was.

Fair enough if you enjoy it or did enjoy it, each to their own (just don't make me listen to it and I won't make you listen to what I listen to!) but I really can't hear or see how it's changed. It always aimed for kids and was pretty dumb, and still does and is, in my opinion.

[wpaulvandyk]

Radio 1 might not be the greatest station now but sadly what happend if Radio 1 and Radio 2 both played and appealed so same audience it wouldn't work. Radio 2 is for the middle aged some older ie 30 - 70. Radio 1 is aimed for under 30's but has a lot of listners under 25

[AnthonyUK]

Radio One today is just so dead

Poor from 93 it bled and bled

Getting rid of presenters that we know and love

And playing some crappy music

The shit sound of britain radio gone!

[goknights39908]

these were the days,

when Radio 1 was realiy

Radio 1, when it launched

in '67, Radio 1 changed

British music forever, it tranformed

the way we look at Radio,

but then in '93 that Ba(nni)stard(er)

ruined it, and after '93 Radio 1

was Radio 1 no more.

[SamOhBollox]

Radio One plays gash music nowadays , the chat is good though.

Also, these jingles are very cheesey :D

[radiodarkhorse]

the jingles werent cheesey at the time. Everything has a shelf life pretty much so the jingles of today will be cheesey in 10 years time

[leepenfold]

Radio 1 Was Britans Number 1 Station From September 1967-September 1993 Then It Was Turned into Youth Station October 1993 All Thanks to Matthew Bannister

[ladylake2004]

i am a radio nerd just look at this and loving it

[nitefly]

Radio 1 is absolute gash there newsbeat feature is the most dumb downed news in the country using sound effects to describe the story they are telling, i would say this is dumbing down there entire demographic but they must be thick enough to listen to it anyway, and don't get me started on chris moyles the fat rapist.

[jackieeemcdonald]

Loved Jackie Brrambles!

[AnthonyUK]

R1 today is a station for deadheads,when bannister/dann wrecked it, it really WAS the end for it.

[gaz909909]

Yeah of course, which is why 7.7 million people listen to the breakfast show. hmm.

[tartanbaws]

Check my channel for loads of radio jingles.

[wwecrazy1234]

u gay boys radio 1 is minto and u r gany

[andylist1972]

radio 1 is for kids its always been for kids its not that radio 1 has become crap its just i grew up and now i dimand abit more than fart jokes sexual inuendo and childish noises thats all

[spinesnapper]

True.

I find myself unable to listen to it anymore during the daytime. apart from late at night when it is often excellent.

Newsbeat is for retards. Scott Mills is scum. Jo Wiley needs stabbing.

Radio one daytime is for people who dont like music, or news.

[ATiredDogsMouth]

Jesus fucking Christ Radio 1 makes me sick.

[Darkscamp1]

Now they have..

This is radio1!! (radio 1) (radio 1)

lol XD the () are backgrounds XD

[keefybaby2007]

i feel the same...but that just tells me i'm too old for it.......maybe you all are too?!

[mjd775]

...Radio 1 finally died on 26th March 2004, when Mark & Lard left!!

[andydarlington]

Yes I agree with that!!

[Scottishgal78]

Mark & Lard were a load of C R A P!!!!

[Prolia13]

@mjd775 i don´t understand.

[mingeruin]

@mjd775 No, Really Radio 1 went back to being alright, which was it's aim to start with, competing with the commercial channels. Encouraged Late 20's and early thirties (past R1 listeners) to radio 2, and successfully without the stigma of "ha you listen to R2!". Their weekend line up on 2 is very good. It's a natural shift of age that radio 1 and 2 needed, but done with a silent, dignified change.

[jjbrien]

the ripped off alot of these jingles off from fm104 in dublin which were in use before radio started using them if you dont belive me search for fm104 jingeles here on youtube

[radiorasher]

Hi the Jingles were from a Jam package that was customised to each station ID. Z100 in New York also used the same jingles

[andrewdarlington1234]

OHH fantastic, brings back so many memories, fantastic. when Radio 1 was as it's very best!!

[visiocomb]

DLT etc really had had their day - what an absolute cheeseboard o'cack.. no better today with the fat boy on at breakfast.

Mark and Lard (and I spose Evans) were the absolute pinnacle of R1 in the last couple of decades imho

[lewis72]

"Britains's most listened to radio station"? Isn't that Radio 2 now?

[filmnet]

lewis, yes Radio 2 is now most listened to station, but only since the 1990s. Before that, Radio 2 was an "old person's" station that no young person would even consider listening to. Radio 1 was top station in '90.

[jameswaters]

Could you think of Scott Mills doing this now?

[darkliahos]

Brings back memories(sniff)(sniff), Radio one has gone down hill now!

[Tomj2110]

Yeah and time has proved us right.There's a big difference with Radio 1 in 1991 and Radio 1 now.Back then they had decent DJ's and decent music.Nowadays I prefer Radio 2 because half if not all of radio 1's ex-hosts like Mark Radcliffe,Steve Wright and Simon Mayo have now got shows on that station.

Radio 1 today is so awful and also it's not very good because there's no-one there left that I like either so I will not be listening to it again in future.

[ScottR147]

I agree,Tom.Even the chart show today on Sundays is AWFUL!

[clifford1943]

Reflecting your age perhaps

[bidanton]

How right you are Tomj2110-I agree with every word that you say!

Radio 1 was alright in the 1980s, but today I too prefer Radio 2-it has a much broader range of music and presenters anyway.

Many thanks for the posting jocksspeedos!

[Scottishgal78]

Yeah? So how come Chris Moyles breakfast show has 7.7 million listeners then??!!

[mjd775]

it doesnt!!

[Scottishgal78]

DOES sooo lol ;-P

[mjd775]

...doesnt mean its any good though, does it? I mean, Keane sell millions of records and they are fucking tripe!!

[BabylonWhore666]

@darkliahos Radio 2 has been becoming the new Radio1 for years now. Mind you, I never liked Radio 1 that much, even in its "glory Days". I tend to finf jingles inane, cheesy and stupid in the main. Or maybe thats me missing the point lol.

[UpTheIron2007]

"New jingles for a new decade!"

The irony lol

[2FMradioInIreland]

cool

[wolsinghambloke]

utter cheese

[mostspecialagent]

I've never heard this Simon Bates promo before, so thanks for posting it. Be nice to hear it a little less conpressed. And if you could do the same for the 1987 Bates-narrated promo... only ever heard that on awful-quality medium wave.

[radiorasher]

The same jingle pack was used for Dublin station FM104,if you want to hear them leave a message on my blog

[PowerpuffGal12]

ahhh, the vintage days

[teaface1976]

Do you remember the start up they had at 04:50 every morning with all the DJ Jingles? (Late 80s)

[WeeShooey]

I remember them I started work at 6:30am so heard them wile getting ready. Mark Page was on first if I remember correctly. Love them.

[quarella]

Adrian John did the early show 1983-88.

[AnthonyUK]

NO they usually switched on the 1053/1089 transmitters around 4.45am usually low power on MW then the power was increased to full and the station presenter engaged the 440Hz test-tone until 4.50 then 5 minutes of beep! silence beep! and at 4.55 the opening radio1 jinglemontage would kick in and the station would start dead on 5am with the first programme.

[teaface1976]

Never knew that about the MW transmitters. Well, I stand corrected....cheers for all the info though xxx

[breazecatcher]

Fabulous! Brings back memories, and with Simon Bates in full Smashie & Nicie mode!

[simpson30]

Radio 1 at its best

[Scottishgal78]

Radio1 has to move with the time y'know! I enjoyed listening to Radio1 then and I STILL do now.

[leepenfold]

Bring Back The Radio 1 Old Jingles 1980 - 1995 with their name Jingles on Bruno Brookes Steve Wright Mark Goodier Simon Bates they were the Best djs of all time

[Dustybin321]

Could you do a montage of all the Radio 1 jingles from 1987?
