UK Top 40 Chart show (Radio 1)
3 Answers
Can anyone name any of the past presenters of the UK Top 40 show on Sunday evenings on Radio 1? I can remember Bruno Brookes used to present it in the late 80's and Mark Goodier and I know JK and Joel are currently doing the job. Also am I right in thinking that the weeks new chart list used to be published on a Tuesday instead of a Sunday?
