- Summary:
- Five years ago, BBC Radio One gained a new controller. Matthew Bannister vowed to reinvent the station, the most popular in Europe. The station lost millions of its 100 million listeners, its most famous DJs left, and their replacements were disasters. Radio One's commercial rivals regarded the internal turmoil with glee.
- In the middle of this crisis, Radio One allowed Simon Garfield unprecedented access to management meetings and to DJs in their studios. Everyone interviewed spoke in passionate detail about their struggle to make their station credible and successful once more. The result is a touching, exciting, and often hilarious portrait of a much-loved national institution as it battles back from the brink of calamity.
