Peter Levy (born 5 September 1955 in London) is a former commercial radio and current BBC television and occasional radio presenter.
Since 11 November 2002, he has been a regular weekday host of the BBC regional news programme Look North, originally broadcast from Leeds, it has been broadcast from BBC's Hull studio to the East Riding of Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire weekdays at 6:30 and after BBC News At Ten, the weekend show is presented by other journalists like Victoria Holland He also had his own programme on BBC Radio Humberside, but was dropped due to poor ratings.
Levy was born in Farnborough, Kent, England, but attended a secondary modern school in Truro, Cornwall. He did not do well at school, and by his own admission passed few, if any, exams. Levy first came to Yorkshire in his late teens. He was an actor in his teenage years, when he essentially 'fled' home (and Cornwall) to live in London, having secured small roles in shows such as Dixon of Dock Green, Man About the House, Coronation Street, The Mike Yarwood Show and Z-Cars.
Although wanting to become an airline pilot when younger (he still enjoys flying), Levy was a disc jockey at Bradford's Pennine Radio (now The Pulse of West Yorkshire) from its launch in 1975 – having been hired by the then television journalist and later Member of Parliament Austin Mitchell. He became a presenter at Liverpool's Radio City in 1979, starting on the afternoon show before progressing to the 'drive time' slot.
