Chris Evans (born April 1, 1966, in Warrington, Lancashire, England) is an English radio and television presenter and producer.Evans started his broadcasting career in 1985 at Manchester Piccadilly Radio, as an assistant to Timmy Mallett and playing a character on his show called 'Nobby Nolevel' ('No 'O' Level'). He was then offered a Saturday afternoon show and then the weekday evening show, until he was sacked in 1987 for gross misconduct.

After working as a producer on Richard Branson's service Radio Radio, where he produced material for Jonathan Ross, Evans went on to work at the BBC London radio station GLR, first as a producer on Emma Freud's mid-morning show, and then Weekend Breakfast with Danny Baker. Evans became a presenter on the station in early 1990, taking over a Saturday afternoon show. Three months later, he started presenting the Monday-Thursday evening show, entitled The Greenhouse, which went out from 7.30-10pm; he remained on this slot until the end of 1990.

In early 1991, due to television commitments with BSkyB, Evans took over presenting his show Round At Chris's, every Saturday morning from 10am-1pm, which he continued to present until April 1993.

In addition to his Saturday morning show on GLR, in March 1992, Evans began presenting a Sunday afternoon show on BBC Radio 1, replacing Phillip Schofield who had previously broadcast in the slot. His show called 'Too Much Gravy', was broadcast from 2.30-4pm and ended in September 1992. His move to Radio 1 was shortlived but seen as a huge success, with controller Johnny Beerling later admitting he wished he'd offered Evans a full-time show there and then. At the time, however, Evans objected that Radio 1 had tried to constrain his style, preventing him from using the "zoo" format, allegedly because Steve Wright was already doing that on the station.

In April 1993 Evans joined Virgin Radio as part of its original line up to host a saturday morning show called "the big red mug show". He was paid £30k pa to present this show but left to persue his TV career, not to return until 1997.In August 2002, Chris Evans set up a radio and television production company, UMTV, with the aim of specialising in live cutting-edge entertainment programming. Over the past 3 years UMTV has produced more than 375 hours of television, with mixed success. TV shows include 'Johnny Vegas: 18 Stone of Idiot' for Channel 4 / E4; 'OFI Sunday' for ITV; 'Live With Christian O'Connell' and 'Live With Chris Moyles' for Five and the award winning School of Hard Knocks for 4 Learning.

Following two high profile shows which failed to perform in the ratings, UMTV hired Terry Wogan and Evans' former Big Breakfast co-host Gaby Roslin to host a weekday morning magazine show, 'Terry & Gaby'. Evans said publicly that if this show failed he would set up a market stall. Despite critical acclaim, the audience numbers never took off and Channel 5 axed the show after its year long run citing its high cost as a reason. True to his work, Evans was pictured at the end of the final show with a market stall and later he opened it for real at Stables Market, Camden.

More recently the company has expanded to include a factual entertainment department and launched its first advertiser-funded programming.
