Ben Cooper became the controller for BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 1Xtra in 2011. He is responsible for revamping the station’s schedule and introducing the Radio 1 Teen Awards. Cooper took on the position at a challenging time in the 45-year history of Radio 1 having seen its audience figures plummet to below 10 million. Today, the station reaches over 12 million listeners per week. Cooper is particularly concerned with rejuvenating Radio 1’s audience, with a target listenership of 15-29 year olds, and is a driving force for the BBC in engaging with young people.
