Ofcom said it had вЂњreservationsвЂќ about some ways the impact of the channel on the BBCвЂ™s commercial rivals had been measured by the BBC, but said it was вЂњlikely, in general, to be small in sizeвЂќ.ДЄlthough it sounds substantial, the forecast of 310,000 hours of viewing a month is a fraction of the total listener hours to Radio 1, which averaged nearly 70m hours a week according to the latest Rajar figures.

It will not feature any full length promotional videos. The new channel will see the Radio 1 logo added to the iPlayer navigation bar. вЂњIt will build on the great success Radio 1 already has online, although it will be important to ensure that everything available through the iPlayer area is consistent with Radio 1вЂ™s distinctive identity.вЂќ

The trust flagged up the вЂњpotential cumulative effectвЂќ of changes to the iPlayer over time, including the proposal to close BBC3 as a TV channel and make it online only, proposals which are yet to be put to the trust.Д«BC trustee Susanna Taverne said: вЂњYounger people are a key and sometimes hard to reach audience for the BBC and other broadcasters, and we agree that this plan will help the BBC to reach them.

A third of 15 to 24-year-olds use the iPlayer every week. Its most popular videos include drivetime DJ Greg JamesвЂ™s spoof video of Miley CyrusвЂ™s Wrecking Ball, seen nearly 6m times.Д«en Cooper, controller of Radio 1, said: вЂњThis is an exciting moment for Radio 1 and our young audience and we canвЂ™t wait to get started on 10 November.вЂќД«BC management also described the channel as an вЂњon-rampвЂќ to iPlayer for younger people who would not otherwise use it to find BBC content at a time when the corporation is finding it difficult to reach a youth audience. Radio 1 has previously put video content on its YouTube channel, which has 1.6 million subscribers worldwide, including 330,000 in the UK. The BBC Trust said: вЂњIf the trend in listening patterns continues unchecked, the stationвЂ™s ability to deliver the public purposes to a young audience will be substantially reduced.вЂќ

It had an average weekly reach of 10.5 million people in the third quarter of this year, according to the latest official Rajar figures. Radio 1вЂ™s reach among its target audience of 15 to 29-year-olds has fallen 3% over the last five years, with the amount of time young listeners tune in down a quarter from an average of 8.9 hours in 2009/10 to 6.4 hours in 2013/14. Radio 1 will put up to two new pieces of content a day on the channel, with a typical month when it launches next Monday (10 November) featuring 26 video editions of the Live Lounge and one 20-minute documentary or magazine programme.ДЄ 60-minute filmed Radio 1 interview will go out once every other month, with the broadcast of four flagship live events a year. The new service, which will feature Radio 1вЂ™s Live Lounge and live streaming from events such as its Big Weekend concerts and Teen Awards, is expected to generate an extra 310,000 hours of viewing per month. Media regulator Ofcom said the new service was most likely to impact on local radio and specialist music websites, but the BBC Trust, in giving the go ahead for the Radio 1 on demand service on Monday, said the commercial fallout from the channel was not significant enough to justify a full-scale public value test.
