In the the 80's along with Steve Wright, Rod Lucas pioneered the "zoo format" of zany programming with audience participation. His shows at BBC Radio Kent and Invicta Radio were radical for the time and very "upfront" in their format. His was the first programme in the UK to be recognised and branded as alternative popular radio. His format has been used by National radio and local radio ever since, including Chris Moyles & Chris Evans. Lucas's early success at such a young age at BBC Radio Medway and Radio Kent were due to a few key BBC managers who allowed Rod to develop radical programming techniques and styles. "The BBC gave me the opportunity to create powerful and creative programmes in a unique freestyle way" says Rod. While with BBC Network radio he voiced and produced many of the creative programme jingles and promos of the time too.
   
In 1985 Rod Lucas was asked to join the management team at Invicta Radio.  After Rod joined  the station started to become popular and quickly gained large audiences. Rod took the station to the audience with massive outside broadcasts and promotions. During Rod's time with Invicta he helped a number of new deejays move on and up.

He assisted Radio 1 DJ Pete Tong develop his radio career too - Pete went on to front Radio 1's popular night programme "The Essential Selection". Rod developed the zoo format for various popular commercial stations across the UK and has won a number of National broadcast awards and nominations for his presentation skills and production creativeness.

Rod's good at taking new talent and developing their skills. He's helped shape many popular names. Lucas says "I love directing and producing, shaping and sculpting fresh new talent and creating radio personalities. If I think someone's got it - I'll help them all the way".
