Angela Catterns is an Australian TV personality, She hosted a music show at Brisbane's local channel Briz 31. Catterns began her radio career at Lismore's local station 2LM, followed by several years in Orange working at CBN8 TV.
She then decided to move back to her native Sydney after working as a sound recordist on a documentary shot in Papua New Guinea.
She then joined the team that started up the highly popular kids' TV show, Simon Townsend's Wonder World.
In the mid-80s, Catterns joined the ABC youth network, Triple M, as producer of its morning show, before being lured to commercial radio to present mornings on 2SM.
After that came a position at SBS as a researcher and producer, then a stint overseas, fulfilling a long-held ambition to work in American radio, where she landed an on-air shift at top-rating WKYS in Washington DC.
Returning to Sydney in 1990, Angela rejoined the ABC as presenter of Triple J's morning show. She also hosted the network's drive program before making the move to ABC Local Radio, presenting the evening program across Australia (from the Lismore ABC Studios). After a break at which she was at Big Fat Radio, she returned to the ABC as 702's Breakfast presenter, and for one survey in December 2004 became the #1 presenter at Sydney Breakfast, replacing Alan Jones. Catterns resigned from ABC 702 in June 2005 after more than five years presenting breakfast.
