Broadcaster Pete Murray is returning to radio to celebrate his 100th birthday today. Murray, who first made his name on Radio Luxembourg in the early 1950s before moving to the BBC Light Programme, Radio 1 and later Radio 2, will host a special edition of The Boom Top Five at 11am on Boom Radio. He presented Open House on Radio 2 for a decade, attracting millions of listeners, and was twice voted BBC Radio Personality of the Year in the 1970s. He was one of the original DJs when BBC Radio 1 launched in 1967, helping to establish the new network as it targeted a younger audience, and later became a key part of Radio 2’s daytime line-up. Speaking ahead of his centenary broadcast, Murray reflected: “I really didn’t expect to be here on my hundredth birthday.
