Mark Goodier

On 17 January 2023, Goodier announced that he was to be replaced on weekday mornings by Ken Bruce, who joined the station from BBC Radio 2.

Goodier twice returned to the weekday mid-morning slot in August 2023 and March 2024 to provide holiday cover for Bruce.

His family moved to Llanfairfechan, Wales shortly after he was born, eventually settling in Edinburgh, Scotland, when he was 8 years old.

Bands and artists recorded sessions for Goodier at the BBC's Maida Vale Studios, some of which were commercially released.

[citation needed] In 1997, Goodier took on a Saturday and Sunday morning slot after quitting daily radio to establish his production company, WiseBuddah.

He spent his final two years at Radio 1 only presenting the Top 40 show, before leaving the station entirely in 2002 owing to falling audiences and BBC bosses considering him "too old for the job.

[citation needed] Goodier is featured in a podcast promoting the Top of the Pops boxset alongside Miles Leonard, Malcolm McLaren and David Hepworth.

In addition, he is a voiceover artist for television adverts which promote new compact disc-formatted albums, in particular the Now That's What I Call Music!

In June 2012, Goodier joined Spectrum FM, the English language music station in the Costa del Sol, Spain, to present a weekly Saturday morning show.
