John Peters (born in Ashford, Middlesex) is a British disc jockey and long established personality in the East Midlands region.
[citation needed] Peters was contacted in 1974 by UBN's programme director Adrian Love (son of Geoff Love) while working at a Relay Station operated by the Post Office through which UBN broadcast to factories in Osterley (studio base), Liverpool, Manchester and Tollcross in Glasgow.
However, he maintained his links with GEM, and eventually became its sole local weekday presenter after the station's purchase by GWR Radio.
At Classic Gold GEM (as it was then renamed), he presented the afternoon drivetime show and voiced local announcements.
In 1999, Peters became a freelance presenter, hosting shows for a number of stations in the East Midlands region, as well as also doing some behind the scenes engineering work.
In 2010, Peters also presented a show on Saturday afternoon with community radio station Gravity FM in Grantham.
