Eddie Mair (born 12 November 1965) is a Scottish former broadcaster who was a presenter on BBC radio and television.

[5][6] Mair's professional career began after he rejected a university place in order to present on Radio Tay, a local Dundee station.

He then joined BBC Radio 5 Live when it began in 1994 presenting the Midday with Mair news show.

[8] Mair was the host of the Sunday current affairs programme Broadcasting House from its launch in April 1998, until 2003, when he took over PM and Fi Glover became presenter of the weekly show.

Standing in for Andrew Marr on his Sunday morning show on 24 March 2013, Mair interviewed London Mayor Boris Johnson asking critical questions about past known misdeeds such as lying to a minister and commenting: "you're a nasty piece of work".

Patrick Wintour in The Guardian commented that "Johnson's reputation had taken a severe pounding",[10] while Dan Hodges in his Telegraph blog thought Mair's approach was a "disgrace".

[7] On PM, Mair had a long-running on-air feud – real or simulated – with Robert Peston, the BBC's former Economics Editor.

[18] The Guardian reported that he refused to take an earnings cut as part of the BBC's gender equality adjustments made in 2017 and 2018.

[3] Mair denied this, writing in Radio Times, "None of my thinking has been influenced by the BBC's pay problems.

The first article appeared before we'd even discussed pay, and later it was said I was staying off work in some kind of protest: in fact, as RT [Radio Times] readers know, I was in hospital trying to avoid sepsis.

Making the show yesterday had been tortuous for everyone on a quiet news day but in the end, I think we made something pretty good.

"[2]In August 2018 it was announced Mair was to take over the drivetime show on LBC from Iain Dale after he moved to evenings in a new autumn schedule for the station.

[26] The PM programme also won a Gold award the same year for its coverage of Hosni Mubarak's resignation as president of Egypt.
