Peter Snow CBE (born April 20, 1938 in Dublin, Ireland) is a British television and radio presenter. He is the cousin of Jon Snow, the main presenter of Channel 4 News, and the brother-in-law of historian-writer Margaret MacMillan.

He was educated at Wellington College and subsequently read Greats at Balliol College, University of Oxford, where he was taught by R.M. Hare.

Snow was a newscaster for Independent Television News (ITN) from the 1960s, but gained most fame when recruited to present the BBC2 in-depth news programme Newsnight in 1980. He retired from Newsnight in 1998 and has since presented Tomorrow's World and the BBC Radio 4 quiz Masterteam, amongst other projects.

He has been involved in the live general election results programmes for many years, first at ITN and later for the BBC. He presents statistical analyses of the election results, and took over responsibility for the "Swingometer" following the death of Robert McKenzie. He is known for his somewhat excitable style of presentation and ever-more elaborate props and graphics, though perhaps his most famous prop was the most basic - a sandpit which he used to illustrate the progress of the First Gulf War.

He survived a plane crash in the state of Washington on October 1, 1999.

Along with his son, Dan, Peter Snow presented a TV series Battlefield Britain, covering battles on British soil from Boudica's struggle with the Romans to the Battle of Britain.

On October 6th 2005, the BBC announced that Peter Snow would be standing down from his electoral reponsibilties and concentrate more on journalism. Mr. Snow himself is quoted as saying "I shall be over 70 at the next general election and that, frankly, is a bit old to be dancing around in front of huge graphic displays"

Jon Snow was born in Ardingly, Sussex. His father was an Anglican clergyman and schoolteacher, and he was brought up at Ardingly College, a minor public school where his father was headmaster. However, he later attended a St Edward's School in Oxford, another public school. His father would later become Bishop of Whitby.

After mixed success in his first attempt to pass his A level qualifications he moved to Yorkshire Coast College, Scarborough later where he obtained the necessary qualifications to gain a place studying law at University of Liverpool. However, he did not complete the degree, being rusticated for his part in a student protest, and opting not to return.

After leaving Liverpool he worked for New Horizon Youth Centre, a day centre for young drug addicts in central London - an organisation he has remained involved with and subsequently became chairman of. He then joined the radio station LBC as a journalist, and then moved on to news organisation, ITN in 1976. In 1979 he was briefly engaged to fellow ITN journalist Anna Ford, who later became an equally high profile television news presenter. He has been the partner of human rights lawyer Madeleine Colvin for many years.

He served as ITN's diplomatic editor (1986-1989) and Washington correspondent (1983-1986) before becoming the main presenter of Channel 4 News in 1989. He has won several RTS Awards - two for reports from El Salvador, one for his reporting of the Kegworth air disaster, and two as "Presenter of the Year".

One of the most memorable moments of Snow's presentation of the Channel 4 news came in 2003 when at the height of the "dodgy dossier" affair Alastair Campbell walked into the studio to rebut statements by the BBC. With no notes or preparation he questioned Campbell about the affair.

Snow is a trustee of the National Gallery and, in this capacity, sits as a trustee also of the Tate Gallery. In the released papers of trustee meetings of the latter institution, Snow was the only trustee to seriously question the gallery's purchase of The Upper Room by Chris Ofili.

He also holds the ceremonial post of chancellor of Oxford Brookes University, and regularly attends ceremonial events at the University.

In 2006 he returned to radio, presenting Jon Snow Reports on Oneword Radio, a weekly show and podcast.
