She has hosted programs on the BBC Light Programme in 1966. Annie first started doing a Sunday evening show at Radio 1 on 5 October 1969 then later hosted the singles review show known as What’s New in the early 1970s before she graduated to a late-night progressive rock show which was simulcast on the Radio 2 FM frequency.

    Nightingale has also presented a Sunday- afternoon request show in the mid- and late 1970’s while in the early 1980’s she presented a Friday night show and the non-music-based Radio 1 Mailbag and Talkabout. Nightingale became the main presenter of The Old Grey Whistle Test on BBC 2 in 1978 as a replacement for long-time host Bob Harris.

    During her incumbency, the show moved from its traditional bias under Harris towards country music, blues rock, and progressive rock and adopted popular modern styles such as punk rock and new wave. She later left the series in 1982. Aside from The Old Grey Whistle Test show, she had also begun presenting for The Sunday Request Show back in September 1975. The show first lasted till the end of 1979 airing on Sunday afternoons.

    It later began its second and most famous run in December 1982 having most of its run in a slot immediately after the Top 40. The show became one of the first on British radio to regularly play music from CDs, having the advantage of its FM carriage before Radio 1 had its own higher-quality frequencies. A stunt was to allow the intro of the first song in the show to play uninterruptedly before saying “Hi” in the very last second before the vocals started.

    Nightingale moved to a weekend overnight dance music show in 1994 which was initially called The Chill Out Zone. She is still heard occasionally in the early hours of Wednesday mornings on BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra. Currently, she spins breaks, often featuring major breaks DJs such as Plump DJs, Freestylers, Noisia, and Meat Katie. She regularly DJs live at clubs and festivals around the UK and Europe.

    Annie has traveled all over the world as a DJ and made music-documentaries during visits to Russia, Romania, Iraq, Chile, The Philippines, and Cuba. She was injured during a mugging while in Havana in 1996, resulting in multiple injuries requiring an air-lift to a London hospital. Due to the injuries, she has since worn distinctive shades which is now part of her image. Nightingale was appointed as a Member of the Order of the British Empire for her services to radio broadcasting in 2002. These awards recognized her in-depth coverage of the radio scene. She also became the first female DJ from Radio 1 to be inducted into the Radio Academy Hall Of Fame in 2004.

    Nightingale has published two autobiographical books: Chase The Fade (1981) ISBN 0-7137-1167-1 and Wicked Speed (1999) ISBN 0-283-06197-9. She has compiled three albums: Annie On One (1996, Heavenly Recordings), her own installment of the Breaks DJ mix series Y4K (2007, Distinctive Records), and ‘Masterpiece’ on the Ministry of Sound compilation series of that name (July 2015)

    She celebrated her 40th anniversary of BBC Radio 1 on 30 December 2007. Annie also co-hosted a special return of the Request Show with Annie Mac featuring contributions from musicians such as Paul McCartney and Chemical Ed. Excerpts from the original show and Nightingale’s recollections of regular contributors such as “Night Owl of Croydon”. The show featured many classic tracks which had been requested over the years and closed with one of Nightingale’s favorites, Cristina’s version of “Is That All There Is?”.

    Annie Nightingale BBC

    Annie Nightingale is best known as Britain’s first female DJ on Radio 1. She is now the station’s longest-serving broadcaster. She remains the only female DJ in the world to have been honored with an MBE by The Queen.

    Her career has been a fantastical musical journey beginning with hanging out with The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and The Who, becoming a journalist and TV presenter, and being a co-owner of a chain of fashion boutiques. Having cracked the all-male preserve of DJs at Radio 1, she began a long career in broadcasting, always choosing her own music and championing dozens of artists who later became world-wide successes.

    Then a second career in television began when she took over as solo presenter of BBC TV’s legendary series The Old Grey Whistle Test, recently voted top music program in The 100 Best TV Shows of all time.

    Annie brought her irreverent humor to the show at exactly the time of the punk revolution. She has always played and enthused about underground and new music, and through her championing of breakbeat, she is now known as Queen Of Breaks. Nightingale DJs at clubs and festivals all over the world, with concomitant scrapes and adventures. She has been bugged in Russia, drugged in Iraq, and mugged in Cuba, the last with nearly fatal consequences. Annie introduces you to the weekend, every Friday morning 3-5 am.
