Music Control


Music Control was a nightly, chart-oriented, network radio show, presented by Kevin Hughes. It was broadcast in the UK from 2001 to 2008 by GCap Media across 'The One Network' to 39 different radio stations.

Music Control was an interactive radio show, where listeners could have their say on the show’s new music, review albums and gigs and discuss various topics via phone, text, email, message board, and social networking platforms.

Unsigned bands were given the opportunity to upload their music to the website, resulting in air play for the bands.

Each evening Kevin Hughes played a brand new song, this was usually the song's first play on the Network and was often a first radio play in the UK. Listeners were invited to contact the show to give their opinion of the track.

Each night Kevin spoke to celebrities, usually from the music industry but guests have also included TV and movie stars. Within the last 12 months, guests have included, Nelly, Usher, The Zutons, The Jonas Brothers, The Feeling, Chris Brown, OneRepublic, The Hoosiers, Thirty Seconds to Mars, Mary J. Blige, Justin Lee Collins, Martin Freeman, Chad Kroeger, Dannii Minogue, Girls Aloud, Kylie Minogue, Leona Lewis, Dave Grohl, Natasha Bedingfield and will.i.am. Kevin was also one of the first presenters on UK commercial radio to play and interview Adele. Adele visited the Bristol studios to record a live session for the show in 2007.
