Ray Cokes

Raymond Christopher Cokes (born 24 February 1958) is an English television presenter.

Cokes' father was an officer in the Royal Navy, and was stationed at various navy bases around the world. When Cokes was fifteen, the family permanently resettled back to Britain. At age 20, Cokes moved to Belgium, where he took on various jobs, including as a DJ on a local radio station. This led to a job as a music presenter on Belgian national TV channel RTBF, on which he presented the show Rox Box in 1982. With growing reputation, more music video shows followed, on Sky Channel and Music Box.

When MTV Europe launched in 1987, Cokes became a video jockey, regularly co-presenting alongside Marcel Vanthilt.
