Yep - have definitely seen a complete genre-switch for Radio 1, when I was in 6th form it was mostly r'n'b (Destiny's Child, mainly), non-guitar pop (eg Fatboy Slim or Britney) and the odd bit of speed garage. I never listened unless it was forced on me, and generally plumped for Xfm instead whenever possible.
These days it seems to be the exact opposite! During the day, at least. Indie, rock, the odd bit of Timba-pop and LOTS OF PEOPLE TALKING. Or bumpers proclaiming 'FIRST FOR NUUUU MUSIC ONE ONE ONE' etc, jebus can't they shut up and play some records?
