Trevor Chappell

Trevor Chappell (born 6 April 1961) is an Australian local radio presenter for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) based in Melbourne. Until July 2023 he was one of the two regular presenters of the Overnights program broadcast nationally from 2:00 am (AEST) to 6:00 am (or 5:30 am on some stations) on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings, when he was joined by a variety of regular guests each night. Late in July, he moved to an afternoon slot on the Melbourne station and his producer, Michael Pavlich, became his replacement on Overnights. Early life Chappell was born on 6 April 1961 in Western Australia. After completing high school, he worked in a range of different jobs - including as a miner, wheat bins in the far north-west, and as a builder's labourer. When he turned 21, Chappell moved to Victoria, where he studied teaching and then moved into youth work. Three years later, he enrolled in an acting course at the National Theatre, Melbourne. After encountering difficulties pursuing a career in acting, he moved back to Western Australia, choosing to study broadcasting at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA).
