Premier Networks states the show will be made available to North American rock music stations on weekends from 6 a.m. to midnight. 

Commenting on the North American debut of his show, Wood says, "I'm so excited to have my own radio show in America. I love going down the archives every week playing some of my favorite music of all time, while reminiscing and taking a trip down memory lane. It's more than a music show, it's an education, so sit back and enjoy the ride!" 

Wood’s program debuted in the UK on Absolute Radio in the U.K., racking up loads of accolades including London's 2011 Arqiva Commercial Radio Award for "Best Newcomer" and "Specialist Programme of the Year," as well as the 2011 Sony Radio Academy Gold Award for "Music Radio Personality of the Year.”
