Greaves started her media career in 1982 as a BBC Administrator at Television Centre. In 1986 she moved to London’s Capital Radio, where she began working on the radio after being “discovered” by DJ David “Kid” Jensen. She was the first female presenter to join the station and was the only female drivetime DJ on London radio. "My route into radio was quite unconventional. I was working in HR at Capital when two DJs overheard me doing an impression of Mammy from Gone with the Wind and said I should record it – things went from there." Greaves went on to produce and present many long-running, popular radio shows. She was the first DJ on Spectrum Radio at its launch on 25 June 1990. Between 1992 and 1997, Greaves presented the “Angie Greaves Breakfast Show” on Choice FM, London’s first urban radio station. It became the most listened to show in the station's schedule and saw listening figures treble.

Angie started working with Magic in late 2006 and was the first woman to join the Magic presenter line-up. Starting off on Mellow Magic, moving to Drive-Time and also presented in the very popular prime Afternoon slot, each of Angie’s shows had on several occasions attracted higher audience figures than BBC Radio 2. She also regularly filled in on BBC Radio 2's Good Morning Sunday. In 2011, she was featured in the launch video for Sound Women, the network committed to celebrating the achievements and raising the profile of the women who work in the radio and audio industry. In an interview with The Observer about women in radio she commented, 'It's always baffled me why the majority of listeners to radio are women but they're a minority of presenters.'
In May 2019, Global announced that Greaves will be the host of a new national Drive Time show on the Smooth Radio network. This marked the end of 13 years of presenting on Magic Radio. Her final show for Magic was on 28 June 2019. Her first show on Smooth Radio was on 2 September 2019. She also hosts a popular Sunday morning show The Sunday Morning Vibe and
