This week in radio history was one of change: the first commercial ‘Network Chart’; the launch of Hallam; the end of Opportunity Knocks on the Light Programme; and the launch of BBC Radio 1. For extra points, name the first song ever played on the station! No prizes but do feel free to have an extra biscuit if you know what it is without the use of either Wikipedia or Google!
