Jane Amanda Hill (born 10 June 1969 in Eastbourne,East Sussex) is an English newsreader working for the BBC. She is one of the main presenters on the BBC News Channel, the corporation's 24-hour rolling news service, and is a relief anchor for the BBC News at One, as well as regularly presenting the BBC Weekend News. She also occasionally presents The World Tonight on BBC Radio 4 and Victoria Derbyshire with Jane Hill.
Hill was born on 10 June 1969, the same day in the same hospital as former BBC Weather presenter Helen Young, in Crawley, West Sussex. She was raised in London. She was educated at Micklefield School in East Sussex. She went on to study politics at Queen Mary College, University of London and graduated in 1991 with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree.
She worked part-time for local BBC Radio in paid and voluntary positions from 1986 to 1991. Her first job was at a local radio station as a junior music correspondent, but she knew little about the local indie bands. After graduating, she worked at the Democratic National Headquarters in Washington DC. She joined the BBC full-time at the end of 1991.
After completing the BBC journalism training programme, Hill joined BBC Radio 5 Live at the station's launch, remaining there as a producer for 18 months. She moved into television following completion of the BBC Regional News Trainee Scheme. She went on to join BBC Radio Berkshire and South Today as a presenter, before moving later to national news.
