Pete Price (born Peter Lloyd-Price, 1946) is a popular comedian and radio personality on Merseyside. He is best known for his Sunday night (10pm-2am) phone in show, "Unzipped", on Radio City 96.7 which is notorious for a plethora of prank calls. Some of these are arguably amusing. Many, however, become too intense for time on the air and are abruptly ended.
Pete also presents a similar phone-in programme, Monday to Thursday (10pm -2am), also on Radio City 96.7. These shows have a different format from his infamous Sunday night show having a topic for discussion in the first two hours followed by the "Peaceful Hour" and finished off with a one hour open phone in. The most popular guests on Pete's show are Tom Slemen, a local author, "Dennis the Chemist" whose pharmaceutical knowledge is "truly astounding", and Jane Sands, a pagan psychic and Tarot Card reader.
Pete was praised for abandoning his midweek show on one occasion in February 2004 to go to the aid of a 13 year old caller who was threatening to kill himself.
In January 2006, Pete's show on sister station Magic 1548 hit the headlines when a regular caller known as "Terry" stopped responding live on air during a debate. After Merseyside Police refused to check on the man's safety, Pete again abandoned the show (music was played after he left the St. John's Beacon studios) to travel to the man's home. Unfortunately, as he arrived, Pete saw an ambulance outside the house. Concerned listeners had already gained entry into the man's home and found that he had died from a suspected heart attack. .
Soon after this, he left Magic 1548's weekday phone-in and became host of Radio City 96.7's late night phone-in.
Other Activities
Pete performs numerous deeds in good stead within society including work for the charity Claire House, as well as performing his own brand of comedy throughout the country. He also appears regularly in Christmas pantomime.
