In its first 12 months, 1Xtra has slotted in between the sister station Radio 1, with its professionalism, and the illegal pirate stations, with their cutting-edge talent and credibility.
"1Xtra prides itself on leading the pack when it comes to spotting new music and we like to do the same thing with our on air talent too," programmes editor, Willber Willberforce said.

 BAILEY - METALHEADZ - 1 XTRA BBC
Now, with his own Sunday Session on 1Xtra, it's his time and he's the perfect example of the strength of a big-not-being-best signing.
The playlist, as always, is a contentious issue, with certain producers being told their sound is not fl enough (whatever the hell that means).
If that happens 1Xtra, sheltered from commercial pressures, will prove even more vital to underground music fans both in the UK and abroad.

Taggerz is a new animated drama from BBC 1Xtra, following the lives of a crew of graffiti artists.
