Co-host of Wake Up UAE! With Jacob and Nimi on 104.8 Channel 4 FM

Jacob Cummings

SUNDAY

Starting the week with a 4.30am wake up is not easy but it’s worth it knowing that you’re making someone else’s day. I arrive at the studio around 5am and the mics go live at 6am. We have to ensure the show is completely planned beforehand, and during the four-hour show, co-presenter Nimi and I are on air chatting up to 30 times. The show finishes at 10am and that’s when my day truly kicks off. Post the show we pre-record interviews and features, plan for the next day’s show and look at what is coming up in the months ahead. I finish in the office around 2pm and head home and spend a few hours on Netflix before going to the gym at 6pm. A healthy dinner follows then bedtime at 8pm.
