Liven up our Sunday nights on BBC Radio Bristol Presenter AdviceFind out how some of our top radio presenters got started in the industry.
Adil Ray - BBC Asian Network presenter I went off to university and the music I was into wasn't catered for at my uni, so I went to the student union and they said 'yes, you go do it'! From there I just looked for any openings that came up and I started at a small station setting up in Birmingham. Ayesha - BBC 1Xtra presenter Winning Xtra Talent started my career - it's given it such a big kick up the backside! I was expecting to do 1Xtra for a month and then go off to college and uni, but I kept getting called back and it's really opened up doors for me. Nemone - BBC 6 Music presenter I loved listening to Kiss so I went for a job there. I didn't get it but the interview went well and I got a job on reception. I got to know people and stayed late at night to learn how things work. When someone was off I was asked to stand in! Dermot O'Leary - BBC Radio 2 presenter After leaving university I started out as a DJ on BBC Radio Essex but then it took around 200 letters to production companies to get a job as a TV runner before going on to do the warm-up for Channel 4's Light Lunch. Since then I have moved into presenting both on radio and television. |
