Jane Garvey Career

Career

Garvey began as a medical records clerk at a finance company as a trainee for an advertising company and then as a receptionist before being hired as a promotions assistant for Radio Wyvern, where she later moved to BBC Hereford and Worcester as a reporter. The station opened in February 1989. Garvey, host of The Breakfast Show at BBC Hereford and Worcester in the year 1999, was presenter of The Breakfast Show, where Ben Cooper (formerly the Controller of BBC Radio 1Xtra and BBC Asian Network) served as her assistant.

When it first launched at 5:00 a.m. on March 28, 1994, Garvey was the first voice on BBC Radio 5 Live. In 1994, she co-presentered 5 Live's award-winning breakfast program, as well as the BBC World Service's Everywoman program. She was also the host of BBC Radio 5 Live's relaunched Midday show (during which Stan Burridge's award-winning Street series was shown). On weekday afternoons with Peter Allen, her last long-term gig on 5 Live was as co-presenter of its Drive show. In The Times in 2002, she and Allen received four Sony Gold Awards, and their time on air was described as "a marriage made in radio heaven."

Garvey was a passenger on the Swansea train in September 1997 and was praised for her on-the-spot reporting.

Garvey unintentionally revealed an apparent pro-Labour bias at the BBC in May 2007, during a discussion on the tenth anniversary of the Labour Party's resurgent reign in the United Kingdom. "The corridors of Broadcasting House were strewn with empty champagne bottles the morning after the 1997 general election, I will always remember that," she said, adding that the BBC had "maybe fallen out of love with Labour" in recent years.

It was revealed in September 2007 that she would leave 5 Live after 13 years. On Monday, she joined BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour as the second principal presenter, replacing Martha Kearney in the role. In a small stir in February 2008, she referred to Woman's Hour as too middle-class and fixated on cooking. In November 2011, she appeared on BBC Radio 5 Live as a stand-in host on the Double Take programme for a short time.

Garvey will be reunited with Allen on BBC Radio 5 Live in June 2016 for a new Sunday-evening show.

Fortunately, Garvey, a fellow broadcaster, and fellow broadcaster Fi Glover launched a weekly podcast series on BBC Radio 4. On January 12, 2021, BBC Radio 4 started broadcasting on January 12th, 2021.

Garvey worked between £150,000 and £160,000 in 2018, making her one of the top 25 highest-paid presenters at the BBC.

On December 31, 2020, Jane Garvey's last Woman's Hour will be broadcast on television.

Garvey joined the Radio Times as the new weekly television columnist in June 2021, replacing former Alison Graham. October 2022, the tenth anniversary of the 2022. On Times Radio, Jane Garvey, a co-presenter, launched a new show.

(Mon-Thurs between 3 and 5pm)

In the 1 October 2018 episode of Woman's Hour discussing Judge Brett Kavanaugh's appointment to the US Supreme Court, Garvey was found to have violated BBC rules on impartiality. During a listener's comment regarding Judge Clarence Thomas' bias, the principal interviewee compared the charges against Kavanaugh to previous charges against him, a listener remarking on the interviewer's bias. The BBC Executive Complaints Unit partially dismissed the complaint and found Garvey "give the appearance of sympathising with the viewpoint" of the biased interviewee" and that "did not object the interview in a way that would have ensured due impartiality." The Woman's Hour team and production staff were required to complete training on impartiality as a result of Garvey's breach of BBC rules.

JAN MOIR: Why is the BBC ashamed of its radio golden oldies, however loved they are?

JAN MOIR: Every morning, nine million of us tune in, soothed by his lowering presence and his peaty voice, with a hint of malt whisky bubbling over the smooth pebbles of pop. And now this! We're losing Ken, we're losing PopMaster, as well as the fluttering ribbon of contestants who have competed for many years. And no, not just for the chance to win a smart speaker or a CD wallet, but also for the opportunity to chat with Ken himself.
