YouTuber DanTDM joins Classic FM to present new video game music series
Daniel Middleton – aka DanTDM on YouTube – is joining Classic FM to front a new video game music series.
Next Level with DanTDM launches this Saturday 11th January at 9pm for an hour and will go on till Easter.
In the first episode on Saturday, he will celebrate gaming’s most legendary soundtracks including The Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy VII, and The Elder Scrolls V, Street Fighter II and one of his favourite games, Minecraft.
It’s not the first video game music show on the station – in 2012, VGM first entered the Classic FM Hall of Fame and, since then, the station has been a significant supporter of the genre. In 2017, Classic FM broadcast the UK’s first radio series dedicated to VGM, when it launched High Score.
DanTDM said: “Teenage me wouldn’t be able to believe I have my own radio show! Having studied music production at university and then worked in video games for the past 15 years, being given a show that celebrates the meeting of these two worlds feels totally surreal. Classic FM is such an iconic station and I’m really grateful and excited to have been given this opportunity.”
Philip Noyce, Classic FM’s Managing Editor, said: This is a very exciting day for Classic FM, as we welcome the brilliant DanTDM to the presenting line-up. Watched by millions, he is a huge star in the gaming world, as well as being a fan of classical music – so it’s fantastic that he’s joining as the host of Next Level with DanTDM.
“Across three months, he will not only showcase the greatest video game music to our loyal listeners, but with Dan at the controls, we’re looking forward to welcoming VGM fans to Classic FM for the first time too. We have always championed new forms of classical music, from film scores to gaming soundtracks, so I’m pleased to announce this next chapter in our support of video game music.”
Next Level with DanTDM is broadcast on Saturdays from 9pm to 10pm on Classic FM.

Times journalist and former BBC broadcaster Rod Liddle gets new show on Times Radio
Journalist, broadcaster, and Sunday Times columnist Rod Liddle will be the new host of its Saturday morning show starting this weekend.
A long-standing columnist for The Sunday Times, as well a writer for The Sun and associate editor of The Spectator, Rod also worked on the BBC Today programme from 1988, later becoming its editor for five years.
He is also an author, with books including Too Beautiful For You (a collection of fiction), Selfish Whining Monkeys (a critique of the Boomer generation), and The Great Betrayal (a polemic). His fourth book, Dog: A Biography, is due out later this year.
Rod has made TV documentaries for Channel 4 and BBC Two, as well as a series for BBC Radio 4 on the relationships between wild animals and humans. He is also a regular commentator and guest on Question Time, Have I Got News for You, The Wright Stuff, Newsnight, Daily Politics and others.
Rod Liddle said:”I am thrilled, honoured and slightly terrified to be joining Times Radio as a weekly presenter. I hope that my programme might bring together fractured communities and spread peace and goodwill among people who hate each other.”
Tim Levell, programme director of Times Radio, added; “Rod is one of the most distinctive and fearless voices in British journalism. His show will bring energy to Saturday mornings, mixing sharp analysis with engaging conversations. Times Radio is the voice of The Times and Sunday Times, and this continues our mission to bring the best writers from the paper to our listeners. We’re delighted to have him on board.”
