The show premiered in August of 2006. Channel 4 signed up Ravenscroft to host a week-long program, SlashMusic, on its short-lived digital station 4Radio. The show, which partnered with a website that hosts music uploaded by bands who were not signed included Ravenscroft in research , however, the media advisor Paul Robinson noted in The Guardian the show’s scripted format slowed his evolving style of presentation, making sure the fact that “he delivers his lines at breakneck speed, obviously reading, which rather loses the sense of personal recommendation and intimacy”. Ravenscroft also hosted an episode of the New Music Download podcast for the station’s website.

In June 2010, having previously appeared as a fill-in presenter for absent hosts including Tom Robinson, Ravenscroft took over the Friday night slot on BBC Radio 6 Music vacated by musician Bruce Dickinson. Paul Rodgers, then 6 Music’s editor at the BBC, greeted Ravenscroft’s appointment, describing him as “a great young broadcaster with all the knowledge, passion and articulacy that you might expect from someone of his lineage”. Ravenscroft joined the station during a threat of closure, but an audience surge, alongside a campaign website hosted by the British Phonographic Industry, ultimately secured its survival. Since 2014 Ravenscroft has also hosted a weekly midnight slot as part of the nightly 6 Music Recommends show, which features new music edited by several of the station’s DJs.

In 2011, Ravenscroft introduced the inaugural “John Peel Lecture” given by Pete Townshend. He also became presenter for Channel 4’s Abbey Road Debuts series featuring hotly tipped new acts performing at the fabled London studios.
