The [[Radio 1 Roadshow]], which usually involved Radio 1 DJs and pop stars travelling around popular UK seaside destinations, began in 1973, as a response to the imminent introduction of local commercial radio stations.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.radiorewind.co.uk/radio1/roadshow.htm|title=Radio Rewind – Radio 1 Shows – Roadshow; the early years|publisher=Radio Rewind}}</ref> hosted by [[Alan Freeman]] in [[Newquay]], Cornwall, with the final one held at [[Heaton Park]], Manchester in 1999. Although the Roadshow attracted large crowds and the style changed with the style of the station itself—such as the introduction of whistlestop audio postcards of each location in 1994 ("2minuteTour")—they were still rooted in the older style of the station, and therefore fit for retirement.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/end-of-the-road-for-radio-one-roadshow-284233.html|title=End of the road for Radio One Roadshow|date=16 March 2000|newspaper=[[The Independent]]}}</ref>
