A.Dot to take over 1Xtra breakfast show
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 28 April 2016
BBC Radio 1Xtra has announced A.Dot as the new host of its breakfast show, making her the only woman to ever present the show without a male co-host. She moves to the early slot from weekday afternoons.
“This is unbelievable”, says A.Dot. “I can’t believe actual people are going to be waking up to my voice every day! I can’t wait to kickstart your mornings with enough music and mayhem to get you through the day. Breakfast will never be the same again!”
She continues: “Just eighteen months ago 1Xtra gave a radio rookie a Saturday afternoon show and now here I am taking the wheel on the ‘Breakfast Show’. I’m so, so grateful for this huge opportunity. I’ve never set a 5am alarm before, let’s hope I don’t sleep through it!”
Current hosts Twin B and Yasmin Evans are moving on to present their own solo shows on the station.
