BBC Music is the arm of theBBC responsible for the music played across its services.[1] The current director of music is Lorna Clarke.[2]

Officially it is a part of the BBC'sRadio operational division; however, its remit also includes music used in television and online services. It was established in its current form in 2014; however, the BBC had already been using the BBC Music brand to refer to its online music content and some live events beforehand, including a now-defunct record label.

Launch

[edit]

BBC Music had its official launch at 20:00 on 7 October 2014, with asimulcast of a specially-commissioned cover of theBeach Boys' 1966 song "God Only Knows".[3] Produced byEthan Johns, it featured asupergroup of singers such asChris Martin (ofColdplay),Stevie Wonder,Kylie Minogue,Dave Grohl (ofFoo Fighters),Elton John,Pharrell Williams,One Direction, andBrian Wilson (The Beach Boys) accompanied by theBBC Concert Orchestra.[4] It was released as a single and reached number 20 in theUK Singles Chart.[5]

Responsibilities

[edit]

BBC Music is responsible for the music played across the BBC. It has direct editorial control of the music content of the BBC's six national music radio stationsRadio 1,1Xtra,Radio 2,Radio 3,6 Music, and theBBC Asian Network, as well as organising live music events for each of the stations. These includeRadio 1's Big Weekend,Live in Hyde Park andIn Concert for Radio 2, theBBC Proms (including the various "Proms in the Park" events), and the BBC 6 Music festival.

Many of the BBC televisual music programmes and documentaries are now co-produced with BBC Music, with a BBC Musicident often being played between the regular channel ident and the start of the programme. It will also coordinate the BBC's coverage of other live music events such as theGlastonbury Festival,T in the Park, theReading and Leeds Festivals, andCeltic Connections amongst others.

It is responsible for the BBC's online music database, collating every music track played across the BBC's national radio stations and a larger amount of the music played on the BBC's UK television channels.

This included looking after My Tracks, formerly BBC Playlister, an interactive, personalisable music service that allowed users to create playlists of music that had been played across the BBC using existing online platformsDeezer,YouTube andSpotify.[6] It also featured playlists created by BBC radio DJs and presenters such asJo Whiley,Greg James,Steve Lamacq,Zane Lowe, andFearne Cotton. This service was discontinued due to low usage.[7]

Additionally, it coordinates the production of theBBC Music Awards and also overseesBBC Introducing, an initiative to get less well-known and unsigned artists played on local and national radio.
