Jane Hill

On 15 September 2017, Hill hosted the inaugural Diversity In Media Awards (DIMAS) in London.

In 2016, Hill appeared at the end of the episodes of No Such Thing as the News for a series of brief comic sketches.

Hill returned as relief presenter for BBC News at Six and also joined the team of relief presenters for BBC News at Ten from August 2014.

She appeared as herself in the 2014 science fiction action film Edge of Tomorrow, which stars Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt.

On Monday 16 August 2010, she began a week sitting in for Jeremy Vine on BBC Radio 2's music and news programme.

Hill led the local reporting in Portugal in 2007, for the BBC's coverage of the disappearance of Madeleine McCann. Flying to Portugal the day the news broke, she spent much of May there, and conducted the BBC's first interview with Kate and Gerry McCann. She returned to the Algarve for all the major developments in the story, and made a half-hour documentary about the case at the end of that year.

From April 2006 until August 2014, she presented alongside Matthew Amroliwala between 11:00 and 14:00 until they moved to between 14:00 and 17:00 in March 2013. Previously, she presented with Chris Eakin from 19:00 to 22:00 on Monday to Thursday evenings. Hill also presents news bulletins on BBC One, and in the past has made occasional appearances presenting BBC Breakfast. She is an occasional relief presenter for the BBC Weekend News on BBC One.

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.

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 DC in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001. 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 City.

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 as an assistant and researcher to Senate Democrats, at the Democratic National Headquarters in Washington. She joined the BBC full-time at the end of 1991.
