Revision as of 19:52, 12 May 2007 by Lastdogbooks (talk | contribs)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Jon Gaunt is a morning talk show presenter. His nicknames include 'Motor Mouth', 'The Cov Gob' and 'Lardy Arse' which reflect his physique as well as his downright rudeness.
Gaunt has worked for many radio stations, including BBC Three Counties Radio, BBC WM, BBC London, and BBC Coventry & Warwickshire. He currently hosts a mid-morning current affairs show ("The Jon Gaunt Show") on talkSPORT. A show he previously presented was awarded three Sony Radio Academy Gold Awards in 2001 which he mentions frequently during his current show six years later and is open to some debate due to the fact that whilst one of the awards was for the Jon himself, the remaining two are for the Jon Gaunt Breakfast Show.
Gaunt has dealt with controversy during his career; he has faced the UK Broadcasting Standards Commission five times which led to speculation that one of his listners had complained twice; three of the complaints made against him were upheld.
