In the hectic landscape of the UK music and broadcasting scene, one name stands out time and time again – OJ Borg. But did you know that this prominent figure in British radio and DJing is half Maltese? With a career that spans both radio and television, Oliver James Borg D’Anastasi known as OJ Borg has become a household name in the UK with his razor-sharp quick wit and endearing personality.

As a regular host on BBC Radio 2’s late-night show, OJ has become well known for delivering quality entertainment during the wee hours. But his journey to the top of the broadcasting world started in his hometown of Leicester in the UK, where he cut his teeth on hospital radio.

From those humble beginnings, OJ’s career trajectory skyrocketed, landing him coveted spots on various radio stations across the country. His first major gig at Kix in Coventry paved the way for future opportunities, including hosting shows on stations like Key 103 in Manchester and 96.2 The Revolution in his beloved Leicester.

But OJ’s talents extend beyond radio waves. He’s also made a mark on the small screen, becoming the face of the EuroMillions draw on the BBC and participating in Channel 4’s The Ballrun, a thrilling rally across the USA. His charisma and charm have made him a natural fit for television, where he’s been seen on celebrity editions of popular game shows like Pointless Celebrities and even braved the spotlight on Mastermind.

Speaking of Mastermind, OJ’s love for trivia and quizzing has become a staple of his late-night radio show on BBC Radio 2. His ‘Midnight Mastermind’ segment challenges both himself and listeners, with topics ranging from pop culture to niche interests like Star Wars (for which he once dressed as Princess Leia!). This interactive element has endeared him to fans and made his late-night show a must-listen for night owls across the nation.

So, next time you’re flipping through the radio dial or scrolling through channels, keep an ear out for that familiar voice – OJ Borg, the Leicester-born half-Maltese DJ who’s ruling the airwaves.
