===Special programming===
====Bank Holiday programming====
Radio 1 provides alternative programming on some Bank Holidays. Programmes have included 'The 10 Hour Takeover', a request-based special, in which the DJs on air would encourage listeners to select any available track to play, 'One Hit Wonder Day' and 'The Chart of the Decade' where the 150 biggest selling singles in the last 10 years were counted down and played in full.

====Anniversary programming====

On Saturday 30 September 2017, Radio 1 celebrated its 50th birthday. [[Tony Blackburn]] recreated the first ever Radio 1 broadcast on [[BBC Radio 2|Radio 2]],<ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p059n6gl|title = Tony Blackburn|publisher = [[BBC]]|access-date = 30 September 2017}}</ref> simulcast on pop-up station Radio 1 Vintage,<ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p059cwkn|title = Radio 1 Vintage|publisher = [[BBC]]|access-date = 30 September 2017}}</ref> followed by [[The Radio 1 Breakfast Show]] celebration, tricast on Radio 1, Radio 2 and Radio 1 Vintage, presented by Tony Blackburn and [[Nick Grimshaw]], featuring former presenters as guests [[Simon Mayo]], [[Sara Cox]] and [[Mike Read]].<ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p059kfxc|title = Tony Blackburn and Nick Grimshaw|publisher = [[BBC]]|access-date = 30 September 2017}}</ref>

====Charity====
Radio 1 regularly supports the BBC's in house charities [[Comic Relief]], [[Sport Relief]] and [[Children in Need]].

On 18 March 2011, BBC's Radio 1 longest-serving breakfast DJ [[Chris Moyles]] and sidekick [[Comedy Dave|Dave Vitty]] broadcast for 52 hours as part of a [[Guinness World Records|Guinness World Record]] attempt, in aid of Comic Relief. The pair stayed on air for 52 hours in total setting a new world record for 'Radio DJ Endurance Marathon (Team)' after already breaking [[Simon Mayo]]'s 12-year record for Radio 1's Longest Show of 37 hours which he set in 1999, also for Comic Relief.

The presenters started on 16 March 2011 and came off air at 10:30 am on 18 March 2011. During this Fearne Cotton made a bet with DJ Chris Moyles that if they raise over £2,000,000 she will appear on the show in a swimsuit. After passing the £2,000,000 mark, Cotton appeared on the studio webcam in a stripy monochrome swimsuit. The appearance of Cotton between 10:10 am and 10:30 am caused the Radio 1 website to crash due to a high volume of traffic.

In total the event raised £2,622,421 for Comic Relief.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/chrismoyles/longestshow/ |title=Radio 1 – BBC Radio 1's Longest Show Ever with Chris Moyles and Comedy Dave for Comic Relief |publisher=BBC |date=1 January 1970 |access-date=20 May 2014}}</ref>
