David Patrick Griffin (born 25 May 1945), known professionally as Dave Lee Travis, is an English disc jockey and television presenter. He currently presents a Sunday programme between 10 am and 12 noon on Heritage Chart Radio.
Travis began his broadcasting career on the pirate radio station Radio Caroline in 1965. He moved to BBC Radio 1, where he became one of the station's leading presenters during the 1970s and 1980s. He was a frequent presenter of BBC1 TV programme Top of the Pops. His other television work has included presenting The Golden Oldie Picture Show and providing commentary for the Eurovision Song Contest. Following his resignation from the BBC in 1993, he worked for several British commercial radio stations.
In November 2012, Travis was arrested by officers from Operation Yewtree on suspicion of historical sexual offences, which he denied. In February 2014, he was found not guilty on twelve of the counts, with the jury unable to reach a decision on two further counts. Travis faced a retrial on the two outstanding counts, with an additional alleged offence from 1995. The retrial began on 5 September 2014. On 23 September, he was found guilty of one count of indecent assault and on 26 September given a three-month prison sentence suspended for two years.
