They specialise in popular music and chart hits from 6am to 7pm (daytime radio) when they play their Radio One Playlist
At night they play more niche music (electronica, hip-hop)
The Playlist
50 songs made up of the A list (25 plays per week), the B list (15 plays per week), the C list (5 plays per week) and a few from their 'In New Music We Trust' (1 play per week)
-
songs can be supplemented by the DJ but they are the main songs played all week on daytime radio - huge importance
The BBC Introducing/ In New Music We Trust can be bands without managers just submitted online which gives unknown artists a chance - often get signed afterwards
