When people ask who the new radio talent is, Allan Lake is most certainly one of the names that answers that question. Not one to shy away from being himself and sharing his thoughts and sense of humour with the audience, he’s much more than just a new DJ.
Allan's radio career started at Isle of Wight Radio, working as the teaboy on the Saturday sports show and as producer for the station's veteran phone-in presenter Alex Dyke. This led to his own Saturday evening show, but he was let go by the station after broadcasting a controversial feature named "Bin Laden reads the Bible".
He then moved to neighbouring station Power FM, before leaving the south coast for Hull to present Late Night Lake at Viking FM. From there he moved to Galaxy Manchester where he made national headlines after comments he made about Pop Idol winner Michelle McManus.
After a stint at Liverpool's Juice FM, he moved to London’s Capital Disney for an evening show named In On The Lake from January 2005 to August 2006. After his successful stint at Capital Disney Allan was promoted to the Breakfast Show on digital sister-station Core where he presented until the station was closed, as well as being a regular cover presenter on 95.8 Capital FM!
After a short sting covered shows for Coast 96.3 in Bangor he joined Red Dragon FM where he was controversial fired and rehired, after getting listeners to call the programme controller to try and persuade him to hire him. Allan continued to present his very popular evening show across South Wales until he was replaced due to the advent of networking more music shows.
Not one to keep his unique take on life off the radio for long, Allan was soon asked to cover shifts on XFM South Wales until it was closed down – which he had nothing to do with – then Oxford’s FM 107.9 and Invicta FM (replaced again by networking), Nation Radio in Wales and Drivetime on Kerrang! in the Midlands.
He then joined the new national Absolute Radio station where he entertained insomniacs everywhere, Mondays - Thursdays, Midnight - 4am.
