Three years in a similar role at Radio 1 followed before Williams transferred to Radio 5 Live, initially as an entertainment reporter.

He also covered Colin Murray's absence, hosting FiveLive's comedy sports panel game, "Fighting Talk".
In 2006, Williams was chosen to be the replacement voice for Buzz in the PBS animated series Cyberchase since the death of Len Carlson (Buzz's original voice actor).
