• About the programme

  Join Ben for BBC Radio Wiltshire every weekday from 0600.

  With ten years of presenting Breakfast under his belt, he certainly knows what makes Wiltshire tick.

  And there’s always plenty of room for your calls, texts and tweets if you fancy chewing the cud. 

  Born in Bristol, Ben has also lived in Sheffield and Australia, but he now calls Malmesbury home.

  His wife Sally Ann, children Charlie, Mia and Archie, collie dog Humbug and cat Pablo Whiskobar keep him out of mischief.

• Ben's Wake Up Call

  It’s all about your head, your heart, your health and having the conversations you might sometimes shy away from.

  Ben Prater will be taking BBC Radio Wiltshire Breakfast out on the road to Salisbury, Trowbridge and Chippenham.

  Come along and have a laugh.

  And there’ll be a health roadshow there too, so you can get yourself checked out at the same time.
