Gloria Hunniford

Hunniford's broadcasting story grew from a BBC Northern Ireland radio interview about her singing in 1969 into reporting and presenting, then television work including Good Evening Ulster and Sunday Sunday. Her career is a reminder that the crossover was not confined to pop DJs: conversational ease could also carry local stories and celebrity interviews. Try a Sunday Sunday conversation for a familiar voice given a visible welcome. The attraction is an interested, companionable host, with the radio and television careers continuing alongside one another.
