Johanne Whiley-Morton[1] (born 4 July 1965), better known by her professional name Jo Whiley, is an English radio DJ and television presenter.

[3] In Whiley's final year of her degree, still unsure of what she wanted to do, a conversation with a lecturer led to a job with BBC Radio Sussex on a show called Turn It Up.

After writing many letters, she got a job as a researcher on WPFM, a BBC Radio 4 youth culture and music show.

She then moved into television, firstly at British Satellite Broadcasting where she produced and presented the indie show, and then at Channel 4 where she worked as a researcher on The Word, with her friend Zoe Ball.

Whiley moved on to BBC Radio 1 from September 1993 until March 2011, during the heyday of Britpop with bands such as Blur and Oasis.

[3] From 1995 to 1998, Whiley was a regular guest presenter on Top of the Pops, initially co-presenting with fellow DJ Steve Lamacq before flying solo and alternating with Zoe Ball and Jayne Middlemiss.

[4] In July 2009, Whiley published her autobiography, My World in Motion, on CD through Random House Audiobooks.

This included elements of the evening show, such as tour dates and occasional live 'sessions' at Maida Vale Studios while working within the restrictions of Radio 1's daytime schedule.

In March 2012, the BBC announced that as part of the broadcaster's celebration of the 20th anniversary of Britpop, Whiley and Lamacq would present a week of Evening Sessions on Radio 2 from 7 April.

[16] On 22 October that year, the station announced that Mayo would be leaving Radio 2 after a backlash against the change, with Whiley moving back to an evening slot.

On 15 March 2010, Whiley presented an edition of the Panorama documentary strand titled Are the Net Police Coming for You?

in which she looked at the Digital Economy Bill, a proposed new law targeting people who download music illegally from the Internet.

[23] In February 2021 Whiley's sister Frances, who has learning difficulties and diabetes, was admitted to hospital after testing positive for COVID-19 following an outbreak in her care home.

[24][25] Whiley publicly campaigned for those in her sister's category to receive priority in the COVID-19 vaccination programme roll-out.
