Terry Hughes

Terry started in broadcasting in 1979 at a talking newspaper for the visually impaired, then he spent a few years at Dudley and District Hospital Broadcasting. He did a few shows on Beacon 303 and BRMB, including joint shows with Gordon Astley, Mike Baker and Roger Day, and some gigs with KKJ, and at the age of 18 was being considered for a full time role in local radio but his dad said “Son, go and get a proper job”.

So in 1983 Terry moved to Coventry and became an apprentice at GEC. To make extra money he became a nightclub DJ, and for fun he was involved with 2 pirate stations in Coventry: Segway Sound and City FM.

Then a few years ago Terry decided to get back into the thing he loves the most – radio. He was chosen to present the early breakfast show each weekday morning on the legendary Radio Caroline, and became the presenter of the weekly Retro Charts countdown show heard on Sunshine.

Terry can be heard each week right here on Sunshine Radio.
