Radio
In August 1991, Tennant and Lowe were invited to take over Simon Bates' then mid-morning show on BBC Radio 1 for a week. They chose all the records, which were principally dance tracks. Chris swore on-air once, but they were invited back to fill the same role in July 1992, when they played the seminal Watch Out For Stella remix of "The Age of Love" every morning.
In March 2009, Tennant and Lowe had two radio appearances. On 15 March, they presented a radio cover show at Absolute Radio, while DJ Geoff Lloyd was on holiday. On 16 March, Tennant and Lowe appeared on Rob Da Bank and Friends showcasing their 'A to Z of music'.

Famous quotes containing the word radio:
“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)
“England has the most sordid literary scene I’ve ever seen. They all meet in the same pub. This guy’s writing a foreword for this person. They all have to give radio programs, they have to do all this just in order to scrape by. They’re all scratching each other’s backs.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
“The radio ... goes on early in the morning and is listened to at all hours of the day, until nine, ten and often eleven o’clock in the evening. This is certainly a sign that the grown-ups have infinite patience, but it also means that the power of absorption of their brains is pretty limited, with exceptions, of course—I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. One or two news bulletins would be ample per day! But the old geese, well—I’ve said my piece!”
—Anne Frank (1929–1945)
