Emma Louise Boughton
Emma Louise Boughton (born 27 November 1970 in Oxford, Oxfordshire), better known as Emma B, is a radio presenter in the UK.
Boughton's childhood was spent in Canada before moving to Birmingham, England as a teenager. She graduated from the University of Exeter with a BA in English and Drama, staying on as a sabbatical officer organising all the live events and skiing competitively for the university. She came 7th in the giant slalom in the British university championships.
Her first experience with radio was at the age of 7 as part of a drama on BBC Radio Oxford with Timmy Mallett. She worked at Radio Caroline (at Bristol dock) before writing articles for media magazines, which included Kerrang!. She also presented a daily children's show along with Timmy Mallet at Radio Oxford, where she was called Susan Zinc!
Emma joined BBC Radio 1 in April 1998, firstly presenting an Early Saturday morning show from 4am–7am. In 1999, she took over the Saturday afternoon show from 1pm–3pm alongside Sara Cox and the Sunday night/Monday morning overnight slot from 1am–4am. In addition to that, in January 2000, she co-presented the Sunday Surgery show, alongside Dr. Mark Hamilton every Sunday evening from 9pm–11pm. Sunday Surgery has dealt with social and health problems including sex, drugs, poverty and crime. She won 4 Sonys for the show and has been singled out as having saved lives through that show.
In September 2001, Emma took over Saturday Breakfast from 7am–10am as well as the Sunday Surgery show. She continued with Saturday Breakfast until late 2003.
From 2004 to 2005, Emma also cropped up on BBC Radio 6 Music, filling in for various presenters such as Liz Kershaw, Gideon Coe, Vic McGlynn and Jane Gazzo.
