After Dotty recently announced joining Apple Music last month as Lead Cultural Curator, Black Music, UK, today (Monday 12th October) she launches her brand new show, 'The Dotty Show', airing at 3pm BST on Apple Music 1. Dotty will also join as permanent host of 'The Agenda Radio' with her inaugural show airing this Friday (16th October) at 2pm BST also on Apple Music 1.

'The Dotty Show', airing Monday to Thursday 3-5pm, is a two-hour daily show and a celebration of the best Black music from the UK and around the world. She will connect with a diverse selection of guests, celebrate icons and brand new artists, and share her love of the best in past, present and future Black music - everything from Hip-Hop to R&B to Dancehall to Drill and everything in between. Each show will have a theme:

• Monday: All about new music discovery and community. Dotty, her listeners and the Apple Music family will share and discover new music together from brand new releases to recent favourites from the UK and beyond
• Tuesday: Dotty connects with artists, actors, athletes and celebrities for a relaxed hangout segment named 'Selections' where her guest chooses the perfect songs to soundtrack a series of scenarios
• Wednesday: Dotty goes on a weekly world tour in search of the best Black music from every corner of the globe with a focus on music from Jamaica, Africa and Europe, as well as music from the global Black diaspora
• Thursday: 100% throwback with Dotty where she'll play cultural classics, hidden gems, B-sides and established favourites, and pay homage to British Black music legends

The home of The Agenda playlist Dotty's hour-long show, 'The Agenda Radio', will air every Friday at 2pm. Dotty will play the best in UK and international Black music. Each week there will be a cover star to shine a spotlight on the biggest artists and tracks in the UK scene.

Dotty says: "This really is my dream job! I started in this business as an artist myself so to be taking on a role that allows me to empower musicians is incredible. And to do all of that while continuing to do what I love on the radio is huge!"
