Jon Blake (AKA Jonathan Odlum) is an Adelaide-based radio broadcaster who works for Radio FiveAA. Originally from Perth, Western Australia, he has resided in Adelaide since the 1980s and lives in an inner city apartment. He is single.

He shares the microphone with Keith Conlon and Tony Pilkington who in turn are supported by the main newsreader Jane Doyle and sports commentator Chris McDermott.The show operates during the 'breakfast shift' and covers current events, breaking news and interviews. Jon Blake has been described as the resident comedian but has been known to take offense to this title and prefers to be described as a broadcaster. In fact, he mentioned this in an interview with channel 7's Today Tonight in Adelaide.

Commonly referred to as "Blakey", he won an award at the 2006 Commercial Radio Awards for 'Best Station Produced Comedy Segment' [http://www.commercialradio.com.au/index.cfm?page_id=1116.] . He has an uncanny ability to mimic voices andthis has enabled Blake to remain a highly sought after talent for advertising and broadcasting.
