40 Years Old BBC Radio 1, More Updated Than Ever
The BBC Radio 1 is celebrating its 40th anniversary being one of the most attractive radio services on the net. They put online a new section for this special event with a lot of interesting content, like video interviews, old shows and stories, Myspace badges and a section where long time listeners can post memories.
The BBC and, specially, the Radio 1 have proved to be updated with the last technology and design. The Radio 1 site was recently redesign with a quite clean organization. For example, right at the top the current show information is displayed with very clear links to start the online radio listening and webcam:
Getting the information you are interested in is very easy as the shows and featured stories are sorted by genre.
There are also quick links to entertainment news, UK Singles Chart and to the Radio 1 Playlist. They know what the users want and they put it on top:
More Technology
They have a broad technology offer, with a lot of information about the BBC audio podcast sorted by show, digital, mobile and satellite radio. They also explain how to listen to the radio with the Freeview, satellite and cable television. It makes me happy that the feeds are organized by genre and board topics.
The Bad Thing
I wonder why the BBC put a widget in the main page displaying the most texted words. Why? Who cares? Well, nothing is perfect…
Anyways, the BBC Radio 1 site has nice design with a lot of information and they are celebrating the 40th aniversary with great technology and design. Cool.
