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 on Radio City 96.7 which is notorious for a plethora of prank calls. Some of these are arguably amusing. Many, however, become too abusive for time on the air and are abruptly ended.
Pete also presents a similar phone-in programme, Monday to Thursday (10pm -2am), on Radio City's sister station, Magic 1548. These nights see a different style of caller, and have a varied and interesting selection of guests. The most popular guests on Pete's show are Tom Slemen, a bestselling local author, "Dennis the Chemist" whose pharmaceutical knowledge is truly astounding, and Jane Sands, a pagan psychic and Tarot Card reader. In early 2006 the Monday to Thursday show will be moving to Radio City.
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, Petes show 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 mans safety Pete again abandoned the show to travel to the mans home. Unfortunately as he arrived Pete saw an ambulance outside the house. Concerned listeners had already broken into the mans home and found that he had died from a massive heart attack.
Other Things Pete Does
Pete does many good deeds within society including invaluable work for the charity Claire House, as well as performing his own brand of comedy throughout the country and not forgetting his regular Christmas Panto appearances.
He also has a coffee morning for all his fans to meet up and chat face to face which is often a major appointment in many people's weeks.
