Annie Nightingale, the pioneer for women DJs on the radio, has died. She was the world record holder as the longest serving female radio presenter.
Female radio DJs were beyond rarity in 1970 when she joined the BBC’s Radio 1, but she carved out a thoroughly respected niche for herself including presenting the Old Grey Whistle Test for eleven years and provided inspiration for all those female presenters who came after her.
Annie Avril Nightingale: 1/4/1940 – 11/1/2024. So it goes.
