  Sony Radio Academy Awards | the judges   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Johnny started his career in Radio during his national service running a radio station in Aden for the RAF where he doubled as station manager, studio engineer and early morning DJ.
Johnny was at the forefront of this process, devising the jingles, recruiting most of the DJ talent and subsequently producing the first ever show with Tony Blackburn.
Johnny was also appointed as a Governor of the BRITS School for Performing Arts and Technology in May 1993 and in that same month was presented with a SONY Award for Outstanding Services to the Radio Industry.

 Johnny Beerling - Definition, explanation
Johnny Beerling (born 1937) had a long association with BBC Radio 1, culminating in his eight years as controller, from 1985 to 1993.
His departure from Radio 1 has come to be regarded as the end of an era, for many of the station's veteran DJs 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, but he did organise the "Music Live '95" event in Birmingham in May 1995, which was broadcast across all (then) three BBC music stations, including Radio 1.

 The cull of Radio 1
Johnny Beerling, who had steered Radio 1 throughout most of the 1980s, gave up his post as the station's controller in the summer of 1993.
It could be said that Beerling's successor, Matthew Bannister, succeeded in turning around the station around and creating a perfect consumption for a young audience, but the way in which he implemented those changes led to recrimination and media savagery.
The 1FM moniker, introduced by Beerling in 1992, and still in use at the start of the Bannister era, quickly yielded to the all-encompassing 97-99FM Radio 1 still used by the station today.

The BBC's Johnny Beerling gave a rundown of how the first Radio 1 and 2 jingles were put together and the reasoning behind them.
At the time that Matthew Bannister took over Radio 1, such was his misguided lack of enthusiam for the station's current jingles (my words - not Johnny's, but he implied as much and everyone agreed!) that the master tapes were consigned to the skip.
Johnny also mentioned that there was a great sign at JAM – "Selling Spoken Here".

The idea of the Roadshow came from former Radio 1 controller Johnny Beerling.
He felt that because Radio 1 was a national station it was often perceived by the UK wide audience as 'down there' or 'up there' in London.

 Matthew Bannister   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Born in 1957, he first worked for BBC Radio 1 as a presenter of its news programme "Newsbeat" between 1983 and 1986, but first established himself as a "name" in the radio industry in the late 1980s and early 1990s as controller of GLR (Greater London Radio), the BBC's local radio station for London.
The station was hugely popular, but many of its DJs, producers and other staff had been working there for decades, and it was felt that younger listeners were not being sufficiently catered for.
Although audiences declined dramatically, a new wave of DJs, including specialists such as Steve Lamacq (indie rock), Tim Westwood (hip-hop), Chris Goldfinger (ragga/dancehall) and Trevor Nelson (R&B), emerged and became highly popular with a new generation, who were now catered for in a way they had never been before.

With the honourable exception of Johnny Walker (and we might consider a conditional discharge for Alan Freeman), they were all guilty of horrendous crimes against music.
Nitpicking aside (I do like to pick the odd nit), this is a fine snapshot of life as a radio DJ in the mid-70s.
It’s actually co-credited on the title-page to Rosko and Johnny Beerling — a respected producer on the station (albeit the creator of the simply awful Radio One Roadshow) — and one can only assume that Mr Beerling was responsible for the discipline of the writing and the sheer barrage of information contained here.

 Out of the Light - 2
Even the ill-judged appointment of Brian Hayes to the breakfast show was rectified after a year when Terry Wogan returned after the demise of his TV chat show.
Radio 1's controller since 1985, Johnny Beerling, was by now 55 years old, and it was hard to see how the R1 lineup of 1992, featuring such veterans as Simon Bates, Dave Lee Travis, Alan Freeman and Bob Harris, would appeal to the young listeners who were still ostensibly the station's target audience.
The entrance of Steve Wright, followed by the likes of Bob Harris, Johnnie Walker and Alan Freeman, massively increased the station's credibility among a much wider audience, many of whom had been left behind by R1.

Of course, the "squares" were running it and much of what they played was terrible, as the BBC was limited to very few actual records per hour; the rest had to be live music from bands and sometimes groups who had passed the BBC audition.
But we suffered the Frank Sinatra and Johnny Mathis [artists] that they obviously felt they had to try and indoctrinate us with, as Elvis, Jerry Lee, and others could also be heard on record, and eventually some of the U.S. artists performed live when they came to the UK on tour.
That only happened in the late 1960s when pressure to play more records and a change from "Establishment" producers to genuine music-loving producers like Johnny Beerling (who became Controller of the first real national UK pop program, BBC Radio One), whose negotiations with PPL resulted in higher allocations of needletime.
