Information About

Johnny Beerling




His departure from Radio 1 has come to be regarded as the end of an era, for many of the station's veteran DJ s would similarly leave the station when Matthew Bannister succeeded him as controller, and the network's ethos, music policy and target audience would change dramatically. Beerling publicly criticised the new regime at the BBC , specifically in the person of Director-general John (now Lord) Birt . After his departure from Radio 1 , Beerling went to work alongside Noel Edmonds , with his production company Unique Productions .

The BBC re-hired Beerling, where he organised the "Music Live '95" event in Birmingham in May 1995 , which was broadcast across all (then) three BBC music stations, including Radio 1. He has recently been working on an autobiography.
