Jason King (also known as JK, born Jason Griffiths, 6 January 1975 in Tenbury Wells, Worcestershire, England, United Kingdom) is a Sony Gold awarding winning British radio DJ (Radio 1, Virgin Radio, Radio Aire) and Rose D'Or award winning TV presenter of programmes such as Hider in the House and Escape from Scorpion Island with friend and long-time colleague Joel Ross. He is currently employed by Heart London on Weekday drivetime from 4pm-7pm. Also, King presents Saturday breakfast on Heart FM from 6am-10am with Lucy Horobin.
Jason King has formerly presented for Sunshine 855 in Ludlow, Galaxy 101 in Bristol and 96.9 Viking FM in Hull, where he met, and was first paired on-air with, Joel Ross.
King had become breakfast show host in 1998 after two years on the lunchtime slot, while also hosting a weekend dance music programme called "Club 969". After a year of presenting the breakfast slot alone, he was paired up with Ross (a long-time colleague and socialising partner).
Initially, the arrangement was just for Ross to earn some overtime from his afternoon shift by reading JK's travel reports; but instantly it became clear that the pair had a natural broadcasting rapport as well as great ability to communicate with the audience, and so Ross was relieved of his afternoon duties and elevated to the role of breakfast co-host. Together, they won two Gold Sony Radio Academy Awards for 'Breakfast Show Of The Year' and a Silver for 'Entertainment Show'.
