BBC Radio 1 has announced 33 new presenters taking over the station this Christmas. Joining the line up is Rebekah Walker who will be hosting ‘Radio 1 Anthems’ on Wednesday the 30th of December, 2-6pm and Friday 1st January, 8am-12pm.
Head of BBC Radio 1, Aled Haydn Jones, says that the introduction of this initiative last year was a way of giving some new young presenters a chance to showcase their talent on a national level and it’s proven to be a fantastic springboard, with many of the presenters landing follow up gigs on Radio 1 and beyond.
Rebekah says “It hasn’t fully sunk in that I’ll be doing a live show on Radio 1 over the festive period. I’m looking forward to it!”
