As a self-confessed "southern jessie", Peter Baker never imagined he would spend years as the voice of Greater Manchester's mornings.
But as breakfast show presenter for Piccadilly Radio and Key 103, in the seventies, eighties, and nineties, Peter, now 67, became the person thousands of Mancunians woke up to.
Piccadilly Radio 261 first aired nearly 50 years ago and was the first commercial radio station to broadcast in the city. Sponsored by the BBC, Peter studied at the University of Bath to become a sound engineer but soon became disinterested and wondered if he could make it as a radio presenter.
