Dave Lee Travis has pleaded not guilty to 14 counts of indecent assault and one count of sexual assault in alleged offences spanning three decades.
The DJ denied the string of charges in a brief hearing at Southwark crown court on Tuesday morning.
He is accused of 14 counts of indecent assault between 1976 and 2003, and one count of sexual assault between June 2003 and November 2008.
Travis, who answered to his real name David Griffin, stood alongside a court guard in the dock as he entered 15 pleas of not guilty.
He is due to go on trial on 14 January for up to six weeks.
The judge, Anthony Leonard, ordered Travis to return to Southwark crown court on 13 January for a pre-trial hearing and released him on bail.
When told he must appear at the next hearing, the entertainer nodded once and said: "I understand."
The former BBC Radio 1 DJ had made no comment as he entered court through a media scrum
