Peter Philip Smith OAM (born 29 May 1939)[1] is a retired Australian radio announcer and television voice-over artist.
During his school years, Smith constructed a makeshift radio station from his parents' house narrowcast over bell wire.
[2] Upon leaving school, Smith joined the Australian Broadcasting Corporation as a messenger boy before progressing through the ranks to an announcer on the home service and Radio Australia.
Since this time, he has made guest appearances on comedy-based radio programs, notably the works of Tony Martin and Mick Molloy including Martin/Molloy, Get This and Tough Love.
From the middle of the 1960s, following Bert Newton's transfer to a rival network, Smith took over as chief staff announcer at GTV-9, a position he would retain for around 40 years.
Smith has collaborated regularly with Australian comedians Tony Martin and Mick Molloy, beginning as the announcer for the Martin/Molloy radio programme on the Austero Network.
Smith further contributed to the duo's individual radio programmes (Martin's Get This and Molloy's Tough Love) and appeared in their films Crackerjack (as a passerby) and Bad Eggs (as a police officer).
