DJs including Huw Stephens and Phil Taggart have hosted the show in her absence.
Annie showcases the best new music from around the world.
Hottest Record
The Hottest Record is played at 7:30 each night accompanied by an interview with the band/artist (either in the studio or on the phone). It is played twice and then is also repeated on Clara Amfo's show the following day. It is usually an exclusive record or something which is creating traction.
New Names
Each night at 7.50pm Annie showcases a new and exciting band or artist in a slot designed to shine a light on emerging talent.
The Power Down Playlist
Every Monday from 8.15, Annie plays mellow and downtempo music to ease people into the week.
Live Gig
Every Tuesday night, Annie has a live gig from an artist or band she's been championing.
The Party Playlist
Every Thursday night Annie welcomes a guest on the show to pick their all-time favourite party tracks.
The Exchange
Each month Annie invites three music lovers (usually artists) to come on the show to talk about the most important issues in music that week. This feature is filmed for the iPlayer.
Annie Mac's first Radio 1 show was broadcast on 29 July 2004. Although she had been a producer at Radio 1 before this and was heard as a voice for jingles on the station at least as far back as February 2004.
Her first ever live set at the Station was at Radio 1's Big Weekend in Dundee in May 2006 as part of the Essential Mix live broadcast. Annie remarked on air at the time how it was the first time they had trusted her to do a live mix.
Annie currently hosts a number of shows on Radio 1. Her main show, called Annie Mac, airs from 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm on Friday nights. She also hosted BBC Switch with Nick Grimshaw on Sunday evenings from 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm until 21 March 2010. After this date they moved to 10:00pm - midnight with a new show simply called Nick Grimshaw and Annie Mac. She is currently one of only two presenters on the station to present shows in both the specialist and entertainment sector, the other being Huw Stephens.
