Alan presented the show on Radio 1 until 1972. Alongside his mainstream broadcasting Alan consistently championed the appeal of hard rock or ‘heavy metal’ music. His BBC Saturday Rock Show picked up just about every award on offer, and when he resigned from Radio 1 in 1978 his listeners were horrified.
Although he continued to be associated with current (and oldies) chart-based programs, from the 1970s through the ’90s on Radio 1, Capital Radio, and Virgin Radio, Freeman also championed heavy metal on a succession of award-winning rock shows.
