Morad El Ouakili takes over from Giel Beelen on NPO Radio 2, which will stop its radio show in January. BNNVARA will announce it on Tuesday. El Ouakili takes on the daily evening time slot from Beelen.
At the end of August, Beelen announced that he would “temporarily” stop doing radio. The DJ announced via Instagram that he instead “will travel the world and live completely in the present”.
Arjen Penders, Head of Audio at BNNVARA, is pleased with the arrival of El Ouakili. “Recently Morad has become a familiar sound on the station. He is absolutely ready for this big step in everyday life. And familiar as it may sound: Morad brings a different sound to NPO Radio 2 at the same time. He has interests and a network that will further enrich the channel “.
El Ouakili considers it “an honor” to be the successor of “a radio hero like Giel”. “It’s an exciting challenge, but I want to do something nice with the listener. A nice end to the day!”
From January 2, 2023, the DJ can be heard from Monday to Friday between 10pm and midnight at BNNVARA on NPO Radio 2.
