No Signal!

No Signal! is set up like a regular Sky TV system with similar graphics and numerous channels, which are flicked through until the show ends, meanwhile showing the various spoofs of commercials, documentaries, etc. An odd take on pre-show disclaimers air before each episode, which suggests that at least another series of No Signal! will be produced. The setup is considered strikingly similar to The Kevin Bishop Show, which began the previous year.

Born out of the cultural no man’s land of the first lockdown in 2020, self-defined #blackradio station No Signal has amassed a wildly loyal following with its celebratory selections from the black diaspora and its flagship show NS10v10, where two rival DJs or artists go head to head with the back catalog of two musicians over 10 rounds. Standouts so far have included the clash between Skepta and Giggs, as well as nimble lyricists Missy Elliot and Busta Rhymes and R&B icons Beyoncé and Mariah Carey.
