He used to be all over TV in the 90s, and was the last person to appear on BSB's Power Station before it closed.

Was saddened to hear this news this morning. As mentioned earlier, he was the last presenter on The Power Station...

I'm on Andover Radio every Saturday afternoon from 4pm-6pm. Follow me on Twitter.

His breakfast show with Russ Williams on (the original) Virgin Radio in the 90s was just brilliant.
RIP

I remember Jono when he presented with Emma Forbes and later Harriet Scott on Heart and I believe he did a stint on LBC and BBC London as well. Always came across really well.

One of the launch reporters on London Tonight too. The upload of the first episode that was on YouTube has gone so this is the only bit I can find (at 1:10)

Did he ever present The Big Breakfast, or am I getting him mixed up with Mark Little?

There was a small tribute to Jono on BBC London tonight as he was a former radio colleague.

He may have stood in on the OB Down Your Doorstep feature, but to be honest he was probably more GMTV than BB and may have done something similar there. What I remember him for most is the Number Cruncher on Noels House Party when they expanded it from simply linking to a live feed in a phone box to an elaborate game to select the player. https://youtu.be/2hSaJkC8KlA?t=188
