Alan Roberts (broadcaster)

Alan Price-Roberts or Alan Roberts (born 19 July 1946) is a British radio presenter, producer and actor.

Originally from Marlow, Buckinghamshire, Roberts was the station programme director with The Voice of Peace during a journey through the Suez Canal in January 1977. Founded by Jewish businessman Abie Nathan, the "Peace Ship" broadcast highly successfully to millions of Israeli and Arab listeners from the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Tel Aviv. It was staffed by a multi-national group of mainly Christian DJs and crew members, and gave several young broadcasters their first taste of radio.

He first started broadcasting on British radio in 1977 at BBC Radio Oxford, one of a generation of British broadcasters that included Timmy Mallett, David Freeman, Martin Stanford, Gary Richardson, Guy Michelmore and Peter Grant.

After several years with the Radio Oxford, Alan joined Swansea Sound replacing John Sachs. He then moved to Severn Sound where he was Head of Music and their first voice on air. Subsequently, he moved to GWR FM Bristol as afternoon presenter, replacing Paul Phear who had left to join Chiltern Radio.
