Neil Nunes (pronounced like "newness") is a British Jamaican continuity announcer on BBC Radio 4 in the United Kingdom and on the BBC World Service. He began working on Radio 4 in a freelance capacity in 2006. He suffered some small criticisms at this time for his Caribbean accent, but was robustly defended by listeners on the programme Feedback and is now a well-established announcer and newsreader.
Nunes was born in Kingston, Jamaica, and brought up in the parish of Manchester.
While studying for a degree in biology, he became involved with the university radio station as a presenter. He then went on to work as a newsreader and reporter for radio networks in the Dutch Caribbean while at the same time serving as a correspondent for the BBC Caribbean Service.
Nunes joined the BBC World Service as a producer and presenter of current affairs programmes. As of September 2009, he reads world news bulletins on the World Service in addition to his Radio 4 continuity work.
