Local and national radio presenters were united on the Isle of Wight at the weekend.
After first spotting the Radio 1 outside broadcast truck parked on the next to the River Medina in Newport on Sunday evening - one of Vectis Radio's
presenters, Robert ‘Chip’ Clark, became curious.
The mystery was solved on Monday morning during the Greg James Radio 1 breakfast show when it was announced at 8am that 30 Radio 1 DJs had been scattered all around the UK, with Greg tasked with finding them all.
The Giant Radio 1 DJ Hunt had officially begun and Detective Chip had located one of them!
Chip has been a volunteer DJ presenter at Vectis Radio for nearly 10 years and he could not resist following up the story.
After spotting the truck, he deduced there was a strong possibility that one of the missing DJs might be found on the Island.
Clues were provided on social media in the form of photos taken by the missing hosts and the public was asked to help Greg by working out where the photos were taken.
On the first day, Monday, a number of DJ’s were successfully located.
On Tuesday, the attention turned quickly to the Isle of Wight when a photo was posted showing a dinosaur.
Following days of speculation it was discovered that the photo had been taken in the West Quay Shopping Centre in Southampton.
Two presenters located there, Sarah Story and Sian Eleri, were tasked to get over to the Isle of Wight as quickly as possible so that they could host their respective shows from the outside broadcast truck, which had earlier been found parked on Cowes Parade.
Chip decided he had to get to Cowes and see what was happening and join in the fun.
He was not disappointed and after speaking to the Radio 1 producer he was able to arrange an interview with Sarah Story who presents the Future Dance Music Show.
