JOHN PETERS
John Peters was on Leicester Sound from it's launch in 1984, presenting the Weekly Top 30 on Sunday lunchtimes. He had been a presenter on Radio Trent in Nottingham since it's launch in 1975 (and indeed, was the first voice heard on Trent). Whilst presenting the Weekly Top 30 (which was heard on Trent as well), John continued to present Trent's breakfast show.
In 1988, John moved to GEM AM, which was the medium wave service for the Radio Trent Group, where John presented the breakfast show for a number of years.
John left GEM for a short time in 1999, going to Century 106 and presenting the Golden Hour, and at this point he also began presenting shows on Fosseway Radio in Hinckley, Saturday breakfast on Rutland Radio and a Sunday evening nostalgia programme on Compass FM in Grimsby
He returned to GEM in 2000 and presented the afternoon show (the only local show on the station) until the end of December 2002.
John has been signed by Saga 106.6 FM, the new regional station for the East Midlands, to present their breakfast show when the station launches on February 11th 2003
