Peter Evans (1927–1985〔http://trove.nla.gov.au/work/12272601?selectedversion=NBD5119570〕) was a breakfast radio announcer on the Australian Broadcasting Commission's station 3LO (now 774 ABC Melbourne). His program ran for over two decades from 1965 until 1985 and for much of that period was the highest rating breakfast radio program in Melbourne. The radio show was also relayed and aired through ABC Radio in Brisbane Queensland. Evans had a reputation for being eccentric〔http://www.theage.com.au/cgi-bin/common/printArticle.pl?path=/articles/2002/08/15/1029113975844.html〕 and for sounding like "a bitter and grumpy man who was living in the past and had more interest in the British Empire of old than the country he had lived in for most of his life."〔http://www.crossbandradio.com/3lo/evans.html〕 He repeatedly broke traditional broadcasting guidelines by such acts as allowing periods of several seconds of silence to be broadcast.〔http://highriser.blogspot.com/2004_12_05_archive.html〕 Coming from a Welsh background and having the common name for that background of Evans, he frequently referred to himself in the traditional Welsh form of "Evans the Wireless", whereby a person's occupation was used as part of their identifier.〔http://trove.nla.gov.au/work/12272601?q=subject%3A%22Evans%2C+Peter%2C+1927-1985.%22&c=music〕 Peter Evans Breakfast Show theme. The breakfast show was introduced by a fast-paced, witty instrumental tune called "Gentleman Jim", which was composed and conducted by Bert Kaempfert & his Orchestra, released in 1963. At the closing of the breakfast show Evans would again play "Gentleman Jim" as the show's theme, but usually he made a few satirical comments enticing the radio audience to tune in again tomorrow. They usually did. == See also == * 3LO 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peter Evans (radio personality)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
