Friday Night Kiss


Friday Night Kiss (FNK) is a house music programme on the UK's Kiss Network (Kiss 100, Kiss 101 & Kiss 105-108). It is the lead programme of the "KISS Weekend" block. The programme is presented by Alex Mansuroglu and Andrea Zara from 5pm to 7pm, Steve Smart from 7pm to 10pm, then Billy Da Kid from 10pm to midnight, followed by Justin Wilkes from midnight to 2am, and finally DJ Jason P until 4am.

It runs commercials about 12 minutes (3 times) per hour from 5pm to midnight, then 5 minutes (once) per hour till 4am. The format is also slightly different: while the 5pm-midnight slot focuses on songs, the midnight-4am slot moves toward to electronic and alternative dance, with no jingles between tracks at all.

Another mainstream house music programme on KISS is Saturday Night Kiss (SNK), which runs Saturdays in five slots: 6-8pm with Billy Da Kid; 8pm-midnight with Steve Smart; midnight-2am with Andrew Wilson; 2-3am with Charlie Hedges & 3-4am with Danny Lee. Unlike FNK, SNK is more known as an outdoor event, as it could be seen in summer 2017 in nightclub Marbella, and April and October 2017 in The Forum, Hertfordshire.

In January 2010, Duncan Wallace joined Kiss from Galaxy FM to produce Friday and Saturday Night Kiss. He left this role in November 2012 to join Global Radio, producing Capital FM’s Friday Night Capital with Marvin Humes and Capital XTRA’s Clubbers Guide with Ministry of Sound. He left in June 2015 to become Apple’s Beats 1 producer.
