Pete Myers
Myers was in the cohort of DJs who launched BBC Radio 1 in 1967 sharing duties with Terry Wogan presenting Late Night Extra, while also continuing on the BBC Africa Service. He was constrained on his Radio 1 show by the station's restrictive playlist and policies, denying him the on air freedom he had on the World Service. He also began presenting a weekend programme on BBC Africa, PM, named after his initials, where he would interview celebrities such as Shirley Bassey, Carol Channing, David Lean, Stephen Sondheim, Ingrid Bergman, and Sophia Loren. In the early 1970s, the success of Good Morning Africa promoted the World Service to make it the flagship morning programme across the English section as The Good Morning Show, also presented by Myers.
