Background
The show began at 7pm BST with each country involved broadcasting for 1 hour of the 7 hour show. The stations involved played out music representing their countries dance scene. The show began with Annie Mac for BBC Radio 1. The German hour was split with 30mins being broadcast by 1LIVE in Cologne and 30mins by Fritz in Berlin. Most stations chose to feature at least 1 live DJ set, with Radio 1 having Jax Jones DJing live on the show.
The show reached an estimated 18 million listeners.[1] Each of the participating stations sent their feeds to Radio 1, where BBC Senior Technical Producer Dan Morris mixed the programme at New Broadcasting House in London. The mixed show was then sent back out to the participating stations to broadcast.[2]
The show's imaging was based around a sample from Dom Dolla's “San Francisco”.
