List of continuity announcers in the United Kingdom

Add links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of continuity announcers in the United Kingdom – the term "continuity announcer" is used for those broadcasters who provide the voiceovers between television/radio programmes.

The six pre-digital terrestrial television channels in the UK (BBC One, BBC Two, ITV, Channel 4, S4C and Channel 5) make use of continuity announcers, and for most of the time, continuity announcements are presented live. Continuity announcers can also be found on digital and satellite channels and are live at all times.
