Subject: Annie Nightingale: Trailblazing Radio 1 DJ dies
Written By: Philip Eno on 01/12/24 at 8:59 am
Radio 1 DJ Annie Nightingale, the station's first female presenter, who went on to become its longest-serving host, has died at the age of 83.
Nightingale joined the station in 1970 and remained the only woman on the line-up for 12 years.
She was known for her passion for a wide range of music, championing everything from prog rock and punk to acid house and grime.
She remained on air until late last year with Annie Nightingale Presents.
Nightingale was also known for co-hosting BBC Two music show The Old Grey Whistle Test.

He was the main host of the OGWT, and during its time, the show had many hosts.

From wiki:
"In December 1980, (Annie) Nightingale presented the show in the immediate aftermath of the shooting of John Lennon (who had appeared on the show in 1975 also including two songs from A Band Called O). This particular episode consisted almost entirely of interviews with various people about Lennon's life and career."
