What is the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ's plan for younger listeners?
Andrea Catherwood explores the challenges facing the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ with young listeners.
The future of the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ depends on renewing its listener base - but younger people are switching off linear radio and focusing on personally tailored forms of media. So how does the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ compete, and what are its strategies for winning over younger listeners?
Andrea Catherwood speaks to Matt Walsh from the University of Cardiff, hears a panel of students discuss their listening habits, and quizzes Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Sounds commissioning editor Dylan Haskins and Head of Radio 1 Aled Haydn Jones on what they're doing to try and attract new generations of listeners. She also asks whether the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ's focus on newer listeners could risk alienating existing, loyal audiences.
And reporter John Rogers goes behind the scenes at youth oriented news podcast Reliable Sauce.
