Angela Catterns, , is an Australian media personality and broadcaster. Mostly known for her work on Australian radio, currently presenting 2UE Afternoons, she has presented Mornings on Triple J, the National Evening Show on ABC Local Radio, and Breakfast on 702 ABC Sydney. She freelances as a voice-over artist and MC for corporate events and charity fundraisers, and regularly teams up with Australian humourist and broadcaster Wendy Harmer to present a holiday season version of the Breakfast Show on 702 ABC Sydney. During her time at 702 Sydney first presenting 'Breakfast', Catterns temporarily displaced prominent Australian radio broadcaster Alan Jones in 2004 to achieve number one in the listener survey ratings.〔http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/12/09/1070732203504.html〕 Catterns has also held broadcasting roles at Australian commercial radio stations 2SM and VegaFM in Sydney, and at WKYS in Washington DC. Her popularity as a radio broadcaster is often attributed to her "perfectly measured combination of intellect and personality",〔Elle Magazine feature article on Angela Catterns July 2001 http://angelacatterns.com.au/ac_news_articles/article-0030-elle-magazine-something-in-the-air.pdf〕 her listening and interviewing skills, and a voice described as being “smooth as chocolate” (The Sydney Morning Herald)''〔Sydney Morning Herald article “Talk Radio” http://angelacatterns.com.au/ac_news_articles/article-0012-talk-radio-1997.pdf〕 or “as if her vocal chords have been marinated overnight in plum brandy and golden syrup” (''Elle'' Magazine). In 2003, Catterns conceived the ABC 702 ‘Knit-In’, harnessing the knitting prowess and goodwill of 702 listeners, in collaboration with the charity Wrap with Love, for an annual knitting event at ABC Headquarters.〔http://www.abc.net.au/local/stories/2011/06/20/3248482.htm?site=sydneyµsite=knitin§ion=latest&date=%28none%29〕 The ‘Knit-In’ has been an annual ABC event ever since. In addition to her involvement with Wrap With Love, Angela Catterns is an ambassador, volunteer and supporter of the charity Habitat for Humanity Australia and The Public Education Foundation. In December 2013, Sydney commercial radio station 2UE announced that from mid January 2014 Angela would present Mornings from 8:30 to 11:30. In July 2014 she moved to the 2UE Afternoons show, and in April 2015 became a casualty of the 2UE/2GB merger, being made redundant the day after 2UE closed their newsroom. ==Early career== Following high school and a diploma in advertising from Sydney Technical College, Catterns began her career as an advertising copywriter, working in-house at department stores Hordern's and Farmers in Sydney, leading to a stint at Surry Hills-based ad. agency, W.B. Lawrence & Partners. Though Sydney born and bred, Catterns made several forays into Australia's regional areas after her earlier city-based career. For example, her first job as a radio announcer was at 2LM, in the north coast town of Lismore, NSW. Around this time, Catterns had several of her original poems published in an anthology of Australian women's poetry, the controversial Mother I'm Rooted, edited by Kate Jennings. After living and working in Lismore, Catterns headed to Orange, NSW for her first job working in television, at the area's CBN 8 channel. Catterns also worked as a voiceover artist at this time for the Orange radio station 2GZ. After several years in Orange, Catterns returned to Sydney and immediately travelled overseas as a sound recordist for a documentary shot in Papua New Guinea. In 1979, Catterns landed the high profile position as one of the first four reporters on the popular children's Logie award winning television show, Simon Townsend's Wonder World. The series was known for its fun and creative reporting style, though it tackled more serious issues from time to time. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Angela Catterns」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
