BBC Radio 1 to launch iPlayer Video channel

The BBC have confirmed that they are to launch a video channel based around Radio 1’s content.

The station, wide supporters of sharing video content of their own programmes, have not confirmed when the new channel will be launched, however the news has been welcomed by many.

Of the new channel, Radio 1 boss Ben Cooper said “I’m very excited about transforming Radio 1 from being just a radio station into being a full audio-visual channel. Radio 1 has always pioneered innovative ideas and led the way in engaging with young people and this is another huge step in cementing that reputation”.

More as we hear it.
