[edit] Early radio career

Vicki Blight was involved in student radio at Cardiff University, where she went on to win Best Female Presenter at the Radio 1 Student Radio Award in 2002.^[2]

From there she became a presenter on Red Dragon FM, a commercial radio station based in South Wales, in 2003. After graduating she joined independent station Century FM.^[3]

[edit] Heart 106

Vicki Blight has presented various shows on Nottingham-based Heart 106, including a weekday afternoon slot and a topical phone-in show.

She has additionally presented an overnight slot and a weekend slot on the station, and, in under a year, she became the co-presenter of the lucrative breakfast show. ^[4]

[edit] BBC Radio 1

In 2007 she was awarded with the Friday Early Breakfast slot on the station, and presented the slot for a month; the Early Breakfast slot has tended to showcase new DJs on the station and in the past the Friday Early Breakfast show has been presented by Greg James, JK and Joel, Scott Mills, and duo Fearne Cotton and Reggie Yates.

After her successful stint she has gone on to cover for various DJs on the station and occasionally presents the Early Breakfast slot, covering for Greg James.

After joining the station she was rumoured to be the new Radio 1 Surgery presenter on BBC Radio 1^[5]; these rumours have since been proved false when Kelly Osbourne was unveiled as the new presenter in September 2007.^[6]
