What is Radio 1's role as a PSB?
- They need to entertain a young audience with playlists which feature popular british music which will attract customers
- Radio 1 is funded by the BBC- PSB so they can afford to lose listeners, but not quality as it would ruin Radio 1's brand reputation.
-Lord Reith (creater of BBC) wanted the BBC to 'inform, educate and entertain'- which means BBC radio has to cover this through all 10 stations.
-Radio 1 must fulfil the Reithion values and meet OFCOM'S requirements:
  1. impartial news and information
  2. education
  3. high quality, distinctive programmes
  4. reflecting, representing and serving all communities across Britain
  5. supporting cultural industries
  6. reflecting UK and its values over the world
