Raymond Moore, born on January 2, 1942, in Liverpool, United Kingdom, is a British broadcaster known for his work as an announcer and presenter. Moore's early career began with Granada Television in 1962, where he started as a continuity announcer before moving to ATV in Birmingham and eventually the BBC in Manchester and London. His broadcasting journey included voice-overs for popular shows such as Come Dancing and Miss World, as well as providing radio commentary for the Eurovision Song Contest. Moore's most notable role was hosting the early morning show on BBC Radio 2 from 1982 to 1988, where he developed a unique broadcasting style characterized by gentle wit and repartee. His show became a staple of Radio 2's morning schedule, with a dedicated following evidenced by events like the Bog-Eyed Jog held in aid of Children in Need. In association with these events, Moore released two records: "O' My Father Had A Rabbit" reached number 24 on the UK Singles Chart in 1986, and its follow-up, "The Bog-Eyed Jog", peaked at number 61. Despite being diagnosed with throat cancer in 1987, Raymond Moore continued his work until his death on January 11, 1989. In recognition of his contributions, he posthumously won the Outstanding Personal Contribution to Radio award from the Broadcasting Press Guild in 1989.
