Sue MacGregor CBE (born Susan Katriona MacGregor in Oxford on August 30, 1941) is a British writer and broadcaster.
Her father was a doctor and she was brought up in South Africa and attended the Herschel Girls School, an independent boarding school in Cape Town. She began her broadcasting career there on the SABC's English language radio service. Initially joining the BBC in 1967 as a reporter for The World At One, she went on to host Woman's Hour from 1972 until 1987. In 1984 she became one of the hosts of BBC Radio 4's Today programme, a position she held until 2002. That same year she was appointed a CBE for her services to broadcasting.
She hosts The Reunion on BBC Radio 4 and continues to chair the popular book programme A Good Read on the same network.
A friend of Helen Suzman, via her niece Janet, MacGregor used her local knowledge in BBC broadcasts over many years about the struggle against South Africa's apartheid system[citation needed].
Her autobiography, Woman of Today, published in 2002, contained candid revelations and outlined her relationships, including an affair with Leonard Rossiter.
