Interestingly this Random Radio Jottings article from over a decade ago suggests Radio 3 removed all its announcers in mid the '90s: https://andywalmsley.blogspot.com/20...ncers.html?m=1
However, it is fair to say a fair amount of the R3 schedule is still linked by announcers - both live and pre-recorded, depending on the time of day. This includes evenings and also weekend afternoons. Does this mean the announcer is back but under the new guise of "network presenter"? To me they are still more announcers rather than presenter in terms of style, although they do often introduce themselves by name rather than being completely anonymous.
Was there a period between the mid-'90s and now during which there were no announcers? Or have the announcers always been around, albeit in varying quantities?
In terms of who I have heard linking the programmes (and recording trails) recently, this list includes:
Male:
John Shea
Al Ryan
Chris Barrow
Female:
Jane Royce
Danielle Jaloweicka
Ali Jones
Penny Gore
Emily Jeffrey
From these lists, both John Shea and Danielle Jaloweicka also are named presenters of Through the Night.
Any I've missed?
