"Patricia Hughes, a former BBC Radio 3 announcer, has died at the age of 90. Hughes started working at the corporation in 1944 and for several years was the only female announcer on Radio 3.  BBC News reports that as a newsreader and chamber music concert introducer, Hughes became one of the most distinctive voices on the channel. Of reading the news, Hughes said in the past: &amp;quot;It isn&amp;#039;t something that it is absolutely necessary for men to do... you don&amp;#039;t have to have a deep voice to sound authoritative.&amp;quot; Hughes worked on Radio 3 until 1983 and described her departure as &amp;quot;reluctant&amp;quot;. In the following years, she lent her voice to audiobooks. She passed away at a nursing home in Winchester, Hampshire on Friday (February 8). Hughes leaves a daughter, Emma, and two granddaughters.
