'''''The Breezeblock''''' was broadcast on [[BBC Radio 1]] in the UK, every Wednesday morning from 2am to 4am (GMT). ''The Breezeblock'' was presented by [[Mary Anne Hobbs]]. 

On 25 September 2006 the ''Breezeblock'' moniker was dropped and the show renamed to '''''[[Mary Anne Hobbs]]: BBC Radio 1's Experimental Show'''''. Though accompanied by a time slot change, the show's format, purpose, and breadth of genre have remained very similar. Listeners can currently tune in to the show on Wednesday mornings from 2:00am to 4:00am (UK time).
