Radio 1 to Feature All-Female Broadcast to Celebrate International Womens Day

Britons leading radio station Radio 1 will feature a full two days of all-female broadcasting to celebrate International Womens Day this coming March 7th and 8th.

Led by Radio 1’s first ever female presenter Annie Nightingale will be two, 12 hour schedules running from 7am to 7pm. She’ll be joined by B. Traits, Annie Mac, Monki and Heidi who’ll champion a whole swag of female producers both up-coming, currently killing it and the veterans of the scene.

Annie (Nightingale) commented on the forthcoming celebrations;

“I am looking forward to celebrating the array of specialist dance DJs on Radio 1, who are female. Gender is, welcomingly, not an issue nowadays when Radio 1 appoints new DJs and it has been demonstrably supportive of women. We all desire to be judged on our abilities alone in this very competitive field and we all thrive on the respect of our peer group, and our audiences. The line-up shows our individual styles and genres from garage, house, drum n bass, r&b, hip hop, trap, grime and techno, and we shall have a lot of fun over the weekend.”

If that wasn’t enough to get you high on the ♀, Polish-born techno DJ and producer Magda will knock out a bubbling Essential Mix. We hope this isn’t a one off or sorts and that DJs and producers of both sexes share air time.
