  • 1974
  • 1975
    • 6 January – Broadcasting hours are reduced due to budget cuts at the BBC. All evening programming stops on BBC Radio 1 and the station simulcasts BBC Radio 2 every evening from 7pm. Consequently, Sounds of the 70s ends and Bob Harris leaves the station for a while. Also the weekday afternoon programme, presented by David Hamilton, is broadcast on both stations and John Peel's show is moved to the drivetime slot.
    • 11 January – Alan Freeman broadcasts a live performance by Pink Floyd which featured a performance of The Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety. The performance was recorded at the Empire Pool on 16 November 1974.

    • 25 September – The final edition of Top Gear is broadcast.
    • 27 September – Paul Gambaccini, who joined the station the previous year, presents his first American chart countdown programme.
    • 29 September – Some late weeknight evening programming returns and John Peel's show moves back to late evenings. For this, BBC Radio 1 'borrows' BBC Radio 2's VHF/FM frequencies on weeknights again (having previously done so from October 1971 to December 1974, for shows hosted by Peel, Annie Nightingale and Bob Harris among others). This one hour on weeknights is the only time of the evening that BBC Radio 1 broadcasts its own programmes, and BBC Radio 1 now ends weekday transmissions an hour earlier, at 6pm.
    • Mike Smith joins.
  • 1976
    • JAM Creative Productions begins at 20-year relationship with BBC Radio 1 when it produces its first set of jingles for the station.[2] Previously, BBC Radio 1's jingles had been produced by PAMS.

  • 1979
  • Annie Nightingale's request show leaves the airwaves for a while.
    • 29 January – BBC Radio 1 begins its delayed weeknight mid-evening programme, with Andy Peebles joining the station to host the new programme. It had originally been scheduled to launch on 13 November 1978 but was delayed as a result of trade union disputes.
