Annie mac who is she

Annie Mac has spoken about her experiences of tokenism during her near two decades in the music industry. The Irish DJ, whose full name is Annie MacManus , announced in April that she would be leaving BBC Radio 1 after 17 years to focus on spending more time with her two children, writing fiction and podcasting. In an interview with the Radio Times, Mac said one of the most welcome developments she had seen over the course of her career was seismic shifts in the world of music and broadcasting, particularly in the number of women occupying prime slots.

Clara Amfo will take over the slot after Annie leaves in July. The BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites. View original tweet on Twitter. Related Topics. Radio Music. Published 24 March. The Irish presenter — full name Annie MacManus — presents the new music show Future Sounds on weekdays between 6pm and 8pm, as well as a dance music-oriented Friday night show.

Sending all of our love, appreciation and luck for the future to Annie. All you need to know as she does her last show after 17 years. Annie Mac is set to play her last evening show tonight as the Radio 1 DJ bids farewell to the station after 17 years.

It comes after Nick Grimshaw announced he is leaving Radio 1 after 14 years at the station and he joined her on her second to last show last night. The disc jockey has worked at the station for the last 17 years — with her show being aired at 6pm on weeknights. Then it was the big move to Fridays. Since March it has been every weeknight with the flagship new music show.
