LONDON (Reuters) - BBC radio stations 1, 2, 3 and 4 celebrated their
40th anniversary on Sunday by broadcasting a series of special
programmes as some of the corporation's former disc jockeys made a
nostalgic return to the airwaves.

The BBC launched Radios 1 and 2 on September 30, 1967 as a
replacement for the Light Programme, while the Third Programme
became Radio 3 and the Home Service was renamed Radio 4.

Sunday's celebrations for Radio 1 included the outspoken Chris
Moyles, who has called himself the saviour of the station, co-hosting
the breakfast show with Tony Blackburn, who launched Radio 1 in
1967.

A two-hour documentary "Keeping it Peel" pays tribute to the veteran
broadcaster, who championed new music trends like punk, before his
death three years ago.

Radio 1 has enjoyed a renaissance since managers dropped many
older presenters in the 1990s.

"Radio 1 is still seen as the best radio station in the world," former disc
jockey Bruno Brookes told BBC News 24. "It's a brand that isn't going to
go away - it's got a great future."

Radio 2 broadcast Kenny Everett's first show for the station while DJs
Smashie and Nicey -- the comic creation of Harry Enfield and Paul
Whitehouse -- will host an edition of Pick of the Pops playing hits from
40 years ago.

The show is a tribute to DJ Alan "Fluff" Freeman who originally
presented the show.

On Radio 4 comedian Matthew Lucas and actor Stephen Fry will host a
spoof edition of "This is Your Life" telling the history of the station,

with

contributions from broadcasters John Humphrys, Sue Lawley, Jonathan
Dimbleby and Barry Cryer.
