In the the 80's along with Steve
Wright, Rod Lucas pioneered the "zoo format" of zany programming with
audience participation. His shows at BBC Radio Kent and Invicta
Radio were radical
for the time and very "upfront" in their format.
|
 |
His was the
first programme in the UK to be recognised and branded as
alternative popular radio. His format has been used by National
radio and local radio ever since, including Chris Moyles & Chris
Evans. Lucas's early success at BBC
Radio Medway and Radio Kent were due to a few key BBC
managers who allowed Rod to develop radical programming
techniques and styles.
"The BBC gave me the
opportunity to create powerful and creative programmes in a
unique freestyle way. Special thanks to BBC management at the
time".
Rod later developed the
zoo format for various popular commercial stations across the UK
and has won a number of National broadcast awards and
nominations for his presentation skills and production
creativeness. |

The 60's BBC TV personality and icon
Simon Dee also had a great impression on Rod
Lucas. "I was lucky enough to run errands
and buy Simon Dee's cigarettes etc, while Simon
freelanced at BBC Radio Medway in early 1970s. I
was 15 at the time and Simon Dee was the first
person to play my jingles on radio. He was very
special to me and taught me so much about
presentation and production. He called me
JINGLES. I cried when he walked out of the
station in about 1973."
"Also in my early broadcast years special thanks
to the late Tommy Vance for letting me take over
his BBC Radio 1 chart show each week:-) Simon
Bates, Tony Blackburn, Colin Berry and
David Hamilton for playing my jingle productions
on BBC Radio 1 and 2 each day. When your 19 that
means a lot."
