A New Chapter for Classic FM
Classic FM is no stranger to video game music, having first featured it in 2012 and later showcased it more regularly with the launch of the High Score show in 2017. Now, with DanTDM at the helm, the station hopes to bring even more listeners into the world of video game soundtracks. The premiere episode will feature soundtracks that every gamer should be familiar with, including those from The Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy VII, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Street Fighter II, and Minecraft.
DanTDM himself expressed his gratitude for the opportunity:
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.
