Biography

From a career starting in radio in the early 1950s, Williams was one of the first presenters at Adelaide’s first television station, NWS9, when it launched in 1959. He has been credited with a part in the short film The Felt Hat (1959).

He hosted NWS9’s popular variety show Adelaide Tonight for eight years and also starred in the station’s annual Christmas pantomime productions in the 1960s.

In 1963 he won a TV Week Logie as South Australia’s Most Popular Male Personality, and it was front page news the day he announced his resignation from Adelaide Tonight in 1968.

He left television in 1967 to manage Australian International Travelcentre, a subsidiary of NWS9’s owner News Limited, but continued to do voice over announcements for NWS9 in the years that followed. He had acting parts in several TV drama series: Matlock Police, Homicide and Division 4 and played Mr Peterson in The Fourth Wish (1976),

In the mid-1970s Williams hosted the game show Concentration, broadcast across the Seven Network. This was followed by Adelaide’s Woman’s World, which became The Lionel Williams Show. The daytime show ran for over a decade on ADS7, later ADS10, until 1988.
