Radio
Jason & Iyare started broadcasting together in 2001 a one hour show called ‘The Presence’ on Monday nights on the Student Broadcast Network, playing hip hop RnB, UK Garage and dancehall for nine months until the launch of BBC 1Xtra.
The duo have broadcast the Breakfast show at 6am-9am every weekday since the station launched in August 2002. The show is a magazine / lifestyle show which covers everything from new black music, to current in news and entertainment.
In 2006, they set up a separate radio production company called ON IT INDUSTRIES, who produced original radio productions such as the Radio 1Xtra weekday M1X show, as well as various documentaries.

Famous quotes containing the word radio:
“There was a girl who was running the traffic desk, and there was a woman who was on the overnight for radio as a producer, and my desk assistant was a woman. So when the world came to an end, we took over.”
—Marya McLaughlin, U.S. television newswoman. As quoted in Women in Television News, ch. 3, by Judith S. Gelfman (1976)
“Now they can do the radio in so many languages that nobody any longer dreams of a single language, and there should not any longer be dreams of conquest because the globe is all one, anybody can hear everything and everybody can hear the same thing, so what is the use of conquering.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“Denouement to denouement, he took a personal pride in the
certain, certain way he lived his own, private life,
but nevertheless, they shut off his gas; nevertheless,
the bank foreclosed; nevertheless, the landlord called;
nevertheless, the radio broke,
And twelve o’clock arrived just once too often,”
—Kenneth Fearing (1902–1961)
