BBC Radio 1Xtra is a music station based in the United Kingdom. It is BBC Radio 1's sister station and is broadcast from the same building in Central London.
The station specialises in Urban, Hip Hop and Garage and targets people between the age of 15-30. A majority of the music played is British, however it also features North American music including Hip Hop and R&B. The station also plays other genres of music such as Grime, Dubstep and Reggae as it attempts to reach a wide audience. Popular DJ's on 1Xtra include Trevor Nelson and Tim Westwood (right).
Artists such as Conor Maynard, Professor Green and Ne-Yo are frequently played on the station, however the station isn't all just music. When I listened to the station, half the time was taken up by interviews and news bulletins. Producers Insomniax were live on the show which was being presented by DJ Target who has a show every Sunday afternoon between 16:00 and 19:00.
Every weekday there is a breakfast show from 6:00 until 10:00 which is presented by Twin B. Trevor Nelson also has a weekday slot between 10:00 and 13:00 where he plays a variety of popular music.
The stations presenters frequently read out emails, texts, tweets etc which have been sent in by listeners which shows the level of interaction between the station and the people listening.
