BBC Radio 1 is being hammered with criticism for its failure in recent months to develop new U.K. acts, which it is mandated to do as a government-funded public-service broadcaster. Much of the criticism is emanating from artist representatives and their labels, who say they’re mad as hell and not going to take it anymore. Indie labels in particular are becoming increasingly confident that they can do it without Radio 1’s support. Major labels, by contrast, still depend on that big look from radio to drive the mega-numbers they need.
