Early radio career
Jason King has formerly presented for
.JK and Joel
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'.
This success led to the pair working together on many other projects in radio and television, until going their separate ways in 2013.
