See BFDI wiki for detailed canon info.
The Announcer is the host of Battle for Dream Island, the secret host of Battle for Dream Island Again, and the final host of Battle for BFB. He debuted in the first episode after falling out of the sky to announce the existence of Dream Island. He speaks with a robotic-sort of voice from AT&T Natural Voice Text-to-Speech demo as Mike, which can be found on this link.
After over 8 years of absence, he returned in "B.F.B. = Back From Beginning" originally in order to reclaim the show from Four and X.
Appearance
The Announcer Speaker Box appears to be a speaker box. His cone and gasket are light grey, and his main body is dark grey.
Personality
The Announcer Speaker Box is seen as mature and reserved, often keeping calm and collected, though this is in part of him being a robot. Despite his reasonable nature, he does have moments of being unfair towards others, like not caring that he sold Dream Island to Leafy, and even hides this information from Bubble when she asks about it.
He's also shown to have his own sense of humor when it's at the contestants' expense, such as when he laughed before dropping water balloons on the contestants in the ladder race, laughed at Woody sinking in bread, and when he bought the BFDI finalists recovery centers just so that he could kill them repeatedly. In addition, according to the "Battle for Dream Island: Official Character Guide", the Announcer calls Needle, "Needy" on purpose, knowing full well that she despises being referred to as such.
The Announcer is also shown to have a more insidious side to him. In "Insectophobe's Nightmare 2", he accidentally revealed that he was responsible for the bugs in front of Bubble, who began to angrily question him. In response, he popped her stating that he must keep his secrets. This side of him was seen again in "B.F.B. = Back From Beginning", when Taco finds out that the Announcer was spending the show's budget quite recklessly. Taco announces that she's telling X, and the Announcer immediately obliterates her with the Emergency Button, and is satisfied about her death.
Adding on to this insidious side is the greed of the Announcer that becomes even more apparent in "SOS (Save Our Show)". He intentionally exploited the budget of the show to have the entire series erased and forgotten just to keep the BFDI to himself. This shows the Announcer as being sociopathic, considering how he stalked the show from behind the scenes to plan the overthrowing of it. During this moment of relaying this information to Taco, he shows little, if any, remorse for his actions, and it paints him as being one of the darkest and most powerful characters of the entire series; he shows the ability to almost "destroy" the cartoon series, in a sense of the word.
Fan Fiction

Object Multiversal Academy
Announcer serves the role as a principal in this series.
There Will Be Battle
Announcer is one of the many Speaker Boxes created by I to trick Objects into going to his Death Chamber. I controlls him. He tries to trick a group of 20 objects into battling for an island (which was a trap), but failed as it was sold a few minutes after it was won. Announcer gave Firey a wheel for him and Leafy, knowing that something would go down. He sent Two to take contestants to him, but instead had them battle for his powers. He sent Four into the ground, but that also failed, thus having to pretend to be a good guy. After HelloKevin and the Goliky Prisoners destroyed him, I had to take matters into his own hands, thus how TWBB started.
