1Xtra is most recognised for playing the best in contemporary Black music, but the station also provides a bespoke news service, regular discussion programmes and specially commissioned documentaries relevant to the young target audience (15-24 year olds). These services are particularly – although not exclusively – aimed at those from ethnic minority backgrounds. They are committed to collaborating with young people both on and offline by hosting discussions around a range of issues affecting young people.
1Xtra would like to put on a virtual session that would be beneficial to young people and are trying to collect data to figure out what sort of services young people in our area want to explore.
They have been in touch with organisations like around the UK and have had requests for topics such as: Cooking, Finances, Careers, Mental Health, Politics, Presenting and more.
