Richard Matthew Bannister (born 16 March 1957) is a British media executive and broadcaster.
After attending King Edward VII School, Sheffield, he graduated in law at the University of Nottingham in 1978, and joined BBC Radio Nottingham as a trainee reporter and subsequently the presenter of its speech-based breakfast show, Morning Report. It was here that he first met Trevor Dann, whom he subsequently worked with at BBC Radio 1.
He first worked for Radio 1 as a presenter of its news programme Newsbeat between 1983 and 1985. He worked for Capital Radio as a journalist in the early eighties, before returning as Head of News and Talks, after leaving Radio 1. He was also co-presenter with Sarah Ward of Capital Radio's The Way It Is.
Bannister first established himself as a 'name' in the radio industry in the late 1980s and early 1990s as Managing Editor of GLR (Greater London Radio), the BBC's local radio station for London. Here he worked for the first time with Chris Evans, who was pioneering many of the ideas which would later win him greater success and much controversy at Radio 1, and also employed a number of the more musically credible DJs from Radio 1's past, such as Annie Nightingale, Tommy Vance, Janice Long and Johnnie Walker. The line up also included Danny Baker, Emma Freud and Chris Morris.

Alex Pascall is Britain's first black broadcaster who secured a long-term show. His was 'Black Londoners' on BBC Radio London which started in 1974 and went on until 1989 when Alex had a disagreement with manager Matthew Bannister who had just arrived from London's commercial broadcaster Capital Radio. Through the years Alex has commentated and run phone-ins on many topics and events including the 1981 riots which swept Britain, particularly in Toxteth, Liverpool, St Paul's, Bristol and Brixton in London. Tony Gosling worked at the same BBC radio station after Bannister arrived and the name changed to Greater London Radio and the station moved to the Radio Times offices in Marylebone High Street, so Alex and Tony compare notes.

The fall and rise of the BBC's pop music station in the 1990's. Part 1 of 4. When Matthew Bannister was appointed Controller of BBC Radio 1, his plans to make the station cool again began with the ousting of a number of long-serving DJs. But they would not go quietly, and millions of listeners were lost. Bannister thought he had found a saviour in new DJ Chris Evans, but when he also departed he left the managers with only each other to fight.
A string of clips assembled over the dulcet tones of Matthew Bannister reading out one of my E-mails on his old BBC Radio Five Live late night show. I was a bit worried about pissing off the BBC over copyright with this one, but bugger it, I wrote the E-mail so whose copyright is it anyway? Anyroadup, it's a nice way of telling, as a short story, our trip up the Llangollen Canal almost to the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct which was being spring cleaned ready of its bicentenial. So thanks a lot Matthew me old matey and please hurry back to a slot on Radio Five Live where those of us exiled on the eastern coast of the USofA can once again listen to you at a reasonable hour of the day!

Chris Morris is known by most for his ground-breaking film and television work but, like most good things, he ‘started on the radio’. Matthew Bannister, who suspended Morris from Radio 1, described him as ‘one of the greatest talents working in British broadcasting’. BBC Radio 4 Extra presents a three hour retrospective on Morris’ work featuring original interviews with Armando Iannucci, Matthew Bannister and David Quantick. Presented by Mary Anne Hobbs. Morris developed his anarchic and surreal style in local radio. It was at BBC Bristol and GLR that he honed his trademark technical skills and first adopted some of the sketches and personas that would later help make his name. He went on to be responsible for some of the most exciting and innovative radio comedy ever made, including On ...

Outlook Today (28/3/2016) - New life for Berlin Tempelhof Airport - BBC World Service Berlin's historic Tempelhof Airport has recently become home to nearly 2,000 migrants. Tempelhof has an extraordinary history: it was built by the Nazis in the 1930s. It played a vital role in the Berlin Airlift in the 1940s. Throughout the Cold War the US military operated from there, alongside commercial flights. The airport closed in 2008 after a long political battle over its future. But now, Tempelhof is buzzing again as its empty aircraft hangars are turned into temporary accommodation for thousands of migrants. Matthew Bannister meets a 17-year-old Yazidi circus performer living in one of the hangars and the Syrian band who used music as their passport on their migrant journey through Europe. Outl...
