Alan Smith (radio)

Alan Smith (born 1963) is a continuity announcer and newsreader on BBC Radio 4, who also does cover stints on sister stations Radio 2 and BBC 7. He was born in Scotland but moved to Cumbria at an early age. He joined Radio 4 in 2002 after a spell presenting on BBC Radio Cumbria. In addition to his BBC work, he hosts an in-flight entertainment programme for British Airways. His voice is distinctive, being warm and friendly and always gives the impression he is interested in what he is saying. In 2006/7 he had the unusual experience for a formal radio announcer, of having his vocals used as a rap on a dance track after UK electronica act The Young Punx sampled him reading the Shipping Forecast for their track "Rockall".
