An Audience With Ben Cooper

Project Static has been in Leeds for about 2 months now and the time has flown by! We only really just feel like we have settled in so things are starting to get back to normal in the Office. We’ve been neglecting our blogging and social media with the move so now we are going to get right back on it! Ben (I) had the pleasure of attending a lecture by Ben Cooper, controller of Radio 1 so I will give you an insight into what he said.

Ever had a tough crowd? Try talking to an auditorium in Leeds full of people in the Broadcasting industry about how you sacked a Leeds lad and most popular and longest serving Radio One breakfast DJ, Chris Moyles. Sinces Moylesgate (I think I’m the only person calling that) I have never been a Ben Cooper fan. Chris Moyles has been my favourite Radio DJ and part of my life for a long time. I used to listen to him when I got home from school and when he moved to mornings I listened to him driving to College and then commuting to work. Ben said that He and Chris both “mutually agreed” that Chris should leave whilst his ratings are high so he can leave on a high note. That sounds like a very business-like move to me from a Public Broadcaster. Midway through the lecture, Chris Moyles Tweeted in. Apparently as a leaving present, Ben Cooper gave Chris the brass plaque off the old Radio 1 building, Yalding House. Every time Chris went out for a smoke break he would look at that sign. So now he is going to screw it on his back door so he can see it every time he goes out for “air” at home too. Completely true story. But that brings me onto my next point. Ben Cooper doesn't use twitter, he doesn't have an account at all. He also said Radio 1 need to keep up with new technology like youtube and facebook. Both of which have been out a good  5 or more years. For a man who is trying to modernize Radio 1 and bring his average listener age down he certainly sounds like a dinosaur. I could go on more but I’ll leave him alone.

I only managed to ask him one thing. First I was going to ask: “When most people have a smart phone in their pocket and can access most songs in the world through Spotify and Youtube etc How relevant is a playlist?” But this questions was asked by someone before I could ask. The Radio 1 playlist where 99% of the music comes from is a list of 30-40 songs that are picked by the DJs each week. He didn't really answer the question, he just said Radio 1 uses many methods to make sure artists are popular like youtube views and ticket sales. I think he missed the point. People don’t use radio to listen to music they like. It’s either background noise or they listen to DJs they like talking. Like Chris Moyles maybe? The question I did manage to put to him was this: “Most people don’t take a passion and spend the amount of time we do studying and analyzing music. I know plenty of people who will listen to anything they hear on the radio and will never buy an album and never discover new music. Knowing this, do you really believe that the Radio 1 playlist reflects the popularity of music? Isn't it more likely that whatever the select group of people at Radio One picks to put on the playlist is what most the nation will go out to buy and listen to?” Unfortunately he didn't really answer my question, he just dodged the main issue by talking about how music moves in waves and styles change. One decade it’s guitars, one decade it’s DJ decks. Hardly a massive insight!  I hope he had a think about what I said on his first class train ride home. Why do a group of a few people at Radio 1 get to decide what the nation buys? Is Payola Dead?
