Trevor Sinclair (radio presenter)

Trevor Sinclair is a Sydney-based radio host. He began his Sydney radio career in 1978 at the then most popular commercial music station in Sydney, 2SM. Prior to this Trevor had worked the Provincial and Regional Radio Circuit in New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory.

Early life

Sinclair's career began in the small town of Young, NSW on 25 October 1976. He moved to the Regional District of Nowra in 1977, before commencing the Early Night Show, from 7pm-10pm, at Canberra's 2CC in March 1978. Sinclair also hosted a very successful late afternoon TV show, "Connections" on local television station CTC-7 from April–October 1978. He was offered a position at Sydney's 2SM in late 1978 and soon after took over the Afternoon Show.

In late 1979 he joined former 2SM colleagues, Ron E Sparx (Program Director), Trevor Johnson (Assistant Program Director) and Gordon O'Byrne (Presenter) for the rebirth of Sydney Radio station 2UW. 2UW was then owned by the Albert family, of Albert's Records and Boomerang Music fame. The Albert family owned radio stations in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane which became known as the Australian Radio Network (ARN). He continued his association with the Network through its AM stations in Sydney (2UW) and Melbourne (3KZ) conversion to the FM band (Sydney's MIX106.5 and Melbourne's TTFM) until 2001.

Sinclair was host of several Nationally syndicated Radio shows during the Eighties and Nineties for Grace Gibson Radio Productions and ARNSAT including The Hitfile, Music Over Australia and How it was-When it was.

Following a take-over and sale of ARN to Australian Provincial Newspapers and America's Clear Channel Communications, Sinclair found himself back in the Regional Radio Market working for DMG Radio Australia, who had recently launched its NOVA Network across the country. The Network sold off its Regional assets to enable it to buy 2 new Radio licences in Sydney and Melbourne, Trevor was again back in Sydney Radio at the newly launched vega 95.3. He hosted the Network Night Show for a time on Sydney's vega 95.3 and Melbourne's vega 91.5, followed by autonomous shows in both Sydney and Melbourne from time to time from 2005 until 2009.

Now

Sinclair is currently Executive Producer/Anchor of the Better Homes & Gardens Radio Show, heard on 70 stations across Australia.

Until April 2012 he was hosting the Drive Show on Greatest Memories 2CH in Sydney before moving into a Breakfast Show support role.

For 12 years Trevor has also been the host of "FMQ - on Radio Q" on Qantas Airways.[1][2]
