Jane Hill (born June 10 1969) is a British newsreader working for the BBC.

She is one of the main presenters on BBC News, the corporation's 24-hour rolling news channel, and is a relief anchor for the BBC News at One, as well as regularly presenting BBC One weekend bulletins.

Early life

After studying [http://www.politics.qmul.ac.uk Politics] at Queen Mary, University of London, Hill worked at the Democratic National Headquarters in Washington, D.C., before joining the BBC on a full-time basis at the end of 1991.

Broadcasting career

Hill joined BBC Radio Five Live at the station's launch, remaining there as a producer for 18 months, before moving into television following her completion of the BBC Regional News Trainee Scheme. She went on to join "South Today" as a presenter, before moving later to national news.

When BBC News launched its new 24 hour channel in November 1997, Hill joined, and was originally an overnight presenter, also appearing on the channel's international counterpart BBC World News during the simulcast between the two channels. During her time with BBC News, she has presented coverage of a wide range of stories and events, including a week of special programmes from Washington, D.C. in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks. She also went on to present live coverage on BBC News and BBC World News of the first anniversary commemorations at Ground Zero in New York.

She presented numerous special programmes on BBC One and BBC Two during the war in Iraq, and in December 2003, on the day US forces captured Saddam Hussein, she broadcast for nearly eight hours continuously on both terrestrial channels, BBC News, and BBC World News.

Since April 2006, she has presented alongside Matthew Amroliwala between 1100 and 1400, Monday to Friday. Previously, she presented with Chris Eakin from 1900-2200 on Monday to Thursday evenings. Hill also presents news bulletins on BBC One, and in the past has made occasional appearances presenting "BBC Breakfast".

Personal life

In her spare time, she is a keen supporter of the arts, and enjoys food and wine - as well as swimming and going to the gym. She is also a fan of the former Swedish singing group, ABBA.
