Simon Mayo Breakfast Show (original) (raw)

The Simon Mayo Breakfast Show was the weekday breakfast show on BBC Radio 1 between May 1988 and September 1993. The programme was broadcast on weekdays, apart from on bank holidays, and had three broadcast slots. Firstly, the show aired between 7am and 9.30am, gaining an extra 30 minutes on 3 April 1989 to co-inside with an earlier start to Radio 1’s day. Finally, when Radio 1 began 24-hour transmissions on 1 May 1991, the programme was broadcast between 6am and 9am. The programme ended as part of the major shake-up of BBC Radio 1 schedule by Matthew Bannister, which saw Mayo move to the station’s mid-morning slot.
