Presenter John Dalziel (JD)
John Dalziel (JD)
John Dalziel, known to listeners as JD, is an experienced radio presenter, event host and voice artist with more than 25 years in broadcasting. Known for his high energy, quick wit and natural connection with audiences, he has built a strong reputation across UK radio through entertaining, music-led shows and a warm, engaging style on air.
Much of JD’s career has been shaped in the West Midlands, where he became a well-known and trusted voice through major stations including Mercia FM, Free Radio and Hits Radio. He is especially recognised for his long-running breakfast radio success, where his ability to balance big show moments, strong listener connection and local relevance made him a standout presence on the airwaves.
Away from radio, JD has developed a wide-ranging career in live event hosting, voiceover and brand-facing media work. His experience includes presenting to large crowds, hosting major events, and serving as a matchday announcer and sports host, bringing the same confidence and personality to live audiences that listeners know from his radio work. He combines professionalism with humour and warmth, making him equally at home in the studio, on stage or in front of the camera.
At Magna Radio, JD brings all of that experience into the line-up, delivering fast-paced, personality-driven radio with great music, strong energy and a real feel for what makes live broadcasting connect.
