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.
