David Symonds


 * David Symonds (b. 1943) joined the BBC in 1965 and made his name as presenter of the Sunday morning Light Programme show Easy Beat, one of the station's few modern pop programmes. He was one of the original line-up of DJs when Radio 1 began in autumn 1967 and established himself as presenter of the new network's afternoon show. This lasted until 1969, when he moved back to Sunday mornings to host the Symonds on Sunday show. In the following year he was one of the presenters of the new Sounds of the Seventies series, before leaving the station in 1971.
 * After leaving Radio 1, David Symonds enjoyed a varied career, working in both the BBC and commercial radio, spending time in the USA, and eventually managing his own radio station in Cyprus. A fuller account of his career can be found here.
