Graham Knight (broadcaster)

Graham Lawrence Knight (17 February 1949 – 3 September 2009) was a British broadcaster, journalist and author.

Knight was born in Sorrento Maternity Hospital, Moseley, Birmingham, England. He died in Nottingham, England, survived by two children, Matthew and Paul and his wife Cherry.

He was an avid collector of autographed books, many of whom were of authors he'd interviewed. He also collected spectacles.

In 1977, he joined the Nottingham Sports Car Club and was a commentator for their September Donington Park race meeting. He also sprinted a Mini at Curborough.

Before moving into journalism, Knight worked in the packaging team at Cadbury's in Bournville, where he met his wife.

Graham started his career in broadcasting by volunteering on hospital radio in Birmingham.

After moving to Nottingham in the mid-1970s, Graham was one of the founder DJs on Nottingham's Radio Trent as it launched in July 1975, where he presented the Phone-in Show, 'Trent Talkback'. Other DJs included John Peters, Jeff Cooper, Kid Jensen and Guy Morris. Graham also had semi regular shows on the English speaking Austrian station Blue Danube Radio, as had his colleague at Trent, Dale Winton.

He returned home to Birmingham when he joined commercial station BRMB to present the evening show.
