Jon Gaunt is an outspoken morning talk show presenter for talkSPORT. He had earlier works at BBC Three Counties Radio. He then moved onto BBC London. After leaving BBC London he took a new position with BBC Coventry & Warwickshire but left after a month because of BBC editorial guidelines, which prevent its journalists working for other media (he was writing a column in The Sun newspaper).

He continues to write a column for the The Sun London newspaper and hosts a mid-morning current affairs show on talkSPORT, where he likes his listeners to refer to him as "Gaunty". Gaunt though seen by many as highly outspoken, commands a large radio audience.

Sony Awards

Gaunt's profile expanded in 2001, when he won three Sony Radio Academy Gold Awards: News Coverage Award, Breakfast News & Talk Award and News Broadcaster Award for his work on the BBC Three Counties Radio Breakfast Show.

Discussion of Gaunt has recently been banned on some internet forums. It is not quite clear why this is, as the forum owners have not said. This had lead to speculation that legal action on behalf of Gaunt or his current radio station may be in the offing.
