TBN Radio 1

TBN Radio 1 is a Transmanian radio station operated by the Transmanian Broadcasting Network Corporation which also broadcasts internationally, specialising in modern popular music and current chart hits throughout the day. Radio 1 provides alternative genres after 7.30pm, including electronica, dance, hip hop, rock and indie. The choice of music and presenting style is entirely that of programme hosts, however those who present in the daytime have to rotate a number of songs a specific number of times (8, 13 or 15) per week. It was launched in 1961 to meet the demand for music generated by private radio stations, when the average age of the Transmanian population was 27. TBN Radio 1 started 24-hour broadcasting on May 7, 1984.
