From 1968 to 1974, Braban served as a BBC TV network announcer, and his distinctive tones became a fixture of BBC presentation trails for the better part of two decades, from approximately 1969 through to 1990.
His television presenting credits include:
- Fashion Fare (1973);
- Chelsea Flower Show (1973).
John Braban died in May 1990; the precise date remains unrecorded.
