Beats 1, Apple Music’s worldwide radio station, announces the launch of two new shows on January 8th, 2018, as well as a brand new schedule
From the station’s new London studios at Kings Cross, former NME new bands editor Matt Wilkinson will broadcast five days a week starting January 8th. And to celebrate the launch, Wilkinson will be joined by Guest Host Mike D of Beastie Boys the following week of January 15th. “I love doing this show and I’m really looking forward to doing it every day… there’s way too much great music to get through once a week so this should make it easier.”
Beats 1 Creative Director and presenter Zane Lowe says, “Matt’s done fantastic work on Beats 1 - he’s a natural on air talent with great music knowledge. Our new schedule reflects our commitment to bringing a live experience around every moment as it happens in music. Our audience wanted another daily show out of London - to highlight the incredible talent coming out of the UK."
UK host Julie Adenuga's show will shift to a new time at 6am PT and extend to five days a week, with Fridays dedicated to spotlighting new music. “I'm excited to be broadcasting earlier in the day from Beats 1 London and have an extra show each week to share new music with you. There are so many talented artists to support!"
