Diana Luke is a Canadian-born radio presenter and hypnotherapist who grew up in Toronto, Ontario and has worked in the UK since 1974.[1]
Luke retired from radio on 18 December 2016, to concentrate on her Mind Being Well Workshops for corporate groups around the UK and Clinical Hypnotherapy.[2] She presented a regular syndicated show broadcast simultaneously on several BBC regional radio stations Sheffield, Leeds, York and Humberside on a Sunday night between 9 pm and 1 am. Some listeners have criticised this move which cuts jobs and means less local output from the BBC.
Career[edit]
Radio[edit]
Luke has worked for many radio stations across the country. Her radio career started on Viking Radio in Kingston-upon-Hull in 1987, where she was their first female presenter. She also presented a weekend show on the Yorkshire Radio Network. After leaving YRN, Diana went to County Sound in Surrey as the mid-morning presenter, and later as one of the original presenters on the ill-fated overnight service The Superstation.
Diana Luke was the breakfast presenter and first voice heard on London's 102.2 Jazz FM opening day, on Sunday 4 March 1990.[3]
As of 2016[update], she presented a regular show on BBC Radio Sheffield, Leeds, York and Humberside on Sundays between 9 pm and 1 am. The last hour changed to a pre-recording to The Luke of Love until 1 am. Diana is a regular freelance presenter for BBC Radio Manchester, BBC Radio Leeds and BBC Radio Sheffield.
