In addition to his broadcasting work, Powell was also a successful businessman. He founded a record label, PRT Records, in the late 1970s, and later went on to establish a video production company, Peter Powell Productions.

Powell retired from broadcasting in the early 1990s to focus on his business interests. However, he has made occasional appearances on television and radio since then.
