Radio career
Jensen started in 1991 as a technician at Radio Midvliet in Leidschendam. Arjen Zijlstra of Midvliet did not think that Jensen was suitable to present, he said: "The board thought him too rude, but he could do everything with tape recorders and made the most beautiful jingles - we still use them".
After school, Jensen did radio training in
Jensen was discovered by Alfred Lagarde, who regularly took him to the Radio Veronica broadcasts on Radio 3. Unico Glorie, Veronica's radio director at the time, was impressed by Jensen. But unfortunately for Jensen, Unico had no place for him in the programming. Jensen then made his entrance at the TROS, where several internships were available. In between, Alfred Lagarde occasionally had him fill in for Veronica on Radio 3 for the program Veronica's Oh, What a Night. Jensen was also co-producer of the controversial Radio 3 program Shockradio by dj Rob Stenders.
Soon a place became available at the then-commercial Radio Veronica when Jeroen van Inkel moved to the morning. Jensen subsequently presented Jensen's Evening Escapades (1995), The Friday Evening Shack (1997 together with Edwin Evers) and Robert Jensen (1996-1997, every working day). In 1996 Unico Glorie made him program manager of Hitradio Veronica.
In 1997 Jensen in the Afternoon was created, with Jeroen Kijk in de Vegte making his entrance, as well as Jan Paparazzi (pseudonym of Jan Zwart), who every now and then sat down for items with well-known Dutch. Jensen traded the afternoon for the morning, and so Jensen in the Morning was born. Jensen presented this together with Kijk in de Vegte, Van Zanten, and Edwin Ouwehand (eddo) made his entrance in this program. Jeroen van Inkel, who went back to the afternoon, left not long after this for Radio 538.
