Nils Roger Nordin (born 24 April 1977) is a Swedish radio presenter and journalist. He has presented several radio shows including Rix Topp 6 and RIX MorronZoo.

Career

Nordin started his career in radio at the age of thirteen in 1991 for Gävle local radio.[1] At the age of seventeen in 1994, he started working as a radio presenter for the radio station RIX 105 Gävle.[1] In late-1994 and early-1995 he started presenting the national broadcasts for Radio Rix. When MTG bought the rights for Rix, he moved to Stockholm to present the daily hit-list Rix Topp 6.[1] In August 2000, Nordin started presenting RIX MorronZoo, along with Titti Schultz and Gert Fylking.[2] He presented the show until 2010.[2] He continued to present daily on the station until 2013 when he left to start working for the radio station NRJ.[3]

Rix FM's morning show had more listeners than Sveriges Radio's morning show.[4] Nordin became "Radio Personality of the Year" at the Radiogala in 2004, and RIX MorronZoo won the viewers' prize Guldhornet at the same gala three years in a row.[5][6]

Nordin presented the show "Sveriges smartaste barn", which was broadcast on TV3 in 2009.[7] In January 2014, Nordin, along with Titti Schultz and Ola Lustig, started presenting "Vakna med NRJ" on the radio station NRJ.[8]

He returned to present RIX MorronZoo with Laila Bagge at the beginning of 2017.[9]

Personal life

Nordin is openly gay, and he revealed it during a live radio broadcast in 2005.[10] He won the award of Homo of the Year by QX Magazine's readers at the annual Gaygalan Awards in 2006.[11]
