Wes Butters

About

Award-winning broadcaster, author, and media producer with a career spanning national radio, television, and publishing. Currently presenting on Bauer’s UK Hits Radio network and BBC Radio 4 Extra, I started out as the 9th host of BBC Radio 1’s Official Chart Show, reaching nearly 3 million listeners. I’ve also appeared on TV programmes like Never Mind the Buzzcocks and Top of the Pops. My voice has been featured in The Brit Awards and the film Love Actually. Beyond broadcasting, I’ve written two critically acclaimed biographies, Kenneth Williams Unseen for HarperCollins ("Enthralling" - Daily Express Book of the Year) and Whatshisname: The Life and Death of Charles Hawtrey, a #1 Amazon biography. I'm the founding director of Mediable, a media production company, that works in TV, film, and audio. My first feature-length documentary film is set for release in 2026.
