Editing BBC Radio 1 (section)

===Regionalisation===<!-- This section is linked from [[BBC Northern Ireland]] -->
From 1999 until 2012, Radio 1 split the [[home nations]] for localised programming in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, to allow the broadcast of a showcase programme for regional talent. Most recently, these shows were under the [[BBC Introducing]] brand. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland had their own shows, which were broadcast on a 3-week rotational basis in England.

From January 2011 until June 2012, Scotland's show was presented by Ally McCrae.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00x592r |title=BBC Radio 1 – BBC Introducing in Scotland with Ally McCrae |publisher=BBC |date=11 June 2012 |access-date=20 May 2014}}</ref> Previously it was hosted by [[Vic Galloway]] (who also presents for [[BBC Radio Scotland]]); who had presented the show solo since 2004, after his original co-host Gill Mills departed.

Wales's show was hosted by Jen Long between January 2011 until May 2012.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00x592p |title=BBC Radio 1 – BBC Introducing in Wales with Jen Long |publisher=BBC |date=28 May 2012 |access-date=20 May 2014}}</ref> Previously [[Bethan Elfyn]] occupied the slot, who had at one time hosted alongside Huw Stephens,<ref name="regions98">{{cite web|url=http://frequencyfinder.org.uk/r1_sched_98_04.html |title=Frequency Finder UK – Classic Radio 1 schedules |publisher=Frequencyfinder.org.uk |date=25 October 2004 |access-date=20 May 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131111133603/http://frequencyfinder.org.uk/r1_sched_98_04.html |archive-date=11 November 2013 }}</ref> until Stephens left to join the national network, although he still broadcasts a show for Wales – a Welsh-language music show on [[BBC Radio Cymru]] on Thursday evenings.

Phil Taggart presented the Northern Ireland programme between November 2011 and May 2012. The show was formerly presented by [[Rory McConnell]]. Before joining the national network, [[Colin Murray]] was a presenter on ''The Session'' in Northern Ireland, along with Donna Legge;<ref name="regions98" /><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.culturenorthernireland.org/article.aspx?art_id=1253 |title=Who is Colin Murray? |publisher=Culturenorthernireland.org |date=19 September 2008 |access-date=20 May 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141110024216/http://www.culturenorthernireland.org/article.aspx?art_id=1253 |archive-date=10 November 2014 }}</ref> after Murray's promotion to the network Legge hosted alone for a time, and on her departure McConnell took her place.

The regional opt-outs originally went out from 8{{nbsp}}pm to 10{{nbsp}}pm on Thursdays (the ''Evening Session''{{'}}s time slot) and were known as the "Session in the Nations" (the "Session" tag was later dropped due to the demise of the ''Evening Session''); they later moved to run from 7:30{{nbsp}}pm to 9{{nbsp}}pm, with the first half-hour of Zane Lowe's programme going out across the whole of the UK. On 18 October 2007 the regional programmes moved to a Wednesday night/Thursday morning slot from midnight to 2{{nbsp}}am under the ''BBC Introducing'' banner, allowing Lowe's Thursday show to be aired across the network; prior to this change Huw Stephens had presented the Wednesday midnight show nationally. In January 2011, BBC Introducing was moved to the new time slot of midnight to 2{{nbsp}}am on Monday mornings, and the Scottish and Welsh shows were given new presenters in the form of Ally McCrae and Jen Long.

The opt-outs were only available to listeners on the FM frequencies. Because of the way the DAB and digital TV services of Radio 1 are broadcast (a single-frequency network on DAB and a single broadcast feed of Radio 1 on TV platforms), the digital version of the station was not regionalised.

The [[BBC Trust]] announced in May 2012 that the regional music programmes on Radio 1 would be replaced with a single programme offering a UK-wide platform for new music as part of a series of cost-cutting measures across the BBC.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-18083178 |title=Children's shows to leave BBC One |publisher=BBC |date=16 May 2012 |access-date=20 May 2014}}</ref> In June 2012, the regional shows ended and were replaced by a single ''BBC Introducing'' show presented by Jen Long and [[Ally McCrae]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01jk7zb |title=BBC Radio 1 – BBC Introducing with Jen and Ally |publisher=BBC |date=1 January 1970 |access-date=20 May 2014}}</ref>
