Peers studied communications at Leeds and contemporary culture in York before completing a postgraduate course in journalism at Birmingham University. In 1995, she joined the now-defunct *Central News South * service in her home town of Abingdon, Oxfordshire and became a reporter, presenter and bulletin editor. [2]
Peers left Central News in 2001 to join BBC South as the main presenter of *South Today from Oxford * and now fronts the 10-minute mini bulletins for the sub-region at 18:30 from Monday to Friday, and 22:25 late bulletins after the BBC News at Ten 4 out of 5 weekday nights.
On Friday 22 March 2013, at the end of the early-evening programme, Geraldine Peers announced: "this was the last regular Friday half-hour edition of South Today from Oxford."
