It makes sense to bring Radio 1 back in line with the others again and promote the BBC name on FM. It was always a silly idea to change it in the first place. I think this happened back in the late 90s when Radio 1 had the ridiculous policy of avoiding mentioning the BBC because they didn’t think it sounded cool.

The change on DAB is odd though. Could this just be part of some engineering tests, or maybe this points to the upcoming new Radio 2 spin-off station having a longer name which requires the space to be removed to fit it in?

R1 also had a phase when the station was being launched on FM of being called "1FM" instead of Radio 1. Although you'd still hear the occasional BBC Radio 1.
