Jay Curtis (born 28 March 1986) is a Welsh broadcaster, columnist and actor.

Curtis started work as a freelance reporter with Newsquest Media Group, writing for his local newspaper in Ammanford

It was during a Newspaper Interview that he was spotted by Ray Gravell during his Wyt Ti'n Siarad Grav Roadshow, and producers later gave him the opportunity to work alongside the broadcaster supporting the remainder of his Roadshow. This was followed by music events on tour across Wales such as the Big Buzz and Pop Into the Park for BBC Radio Wales and BBC Radio Cymru

After working at various BBC events he was offered a role presenting on his local community radio station Afan FM 107.9, at various Restricted Service Licence events, such as the Pontardawe Festival and Aberavon Beach Festival.

The station was later granted an FM licence, and re-branded XS Radio where he presented weekend shows, making him one of the youngest presenters on local radio in Wales.

In January 2007, he moved into commercial radio, following a successful interview with Town & Country Broadcasting and began hosting the Drivetime Show at their headquarters in Neath Abbey on 102.1 Swansea Bay Radio and 106.3 Bridge FM. His fun and lively style quickly saw him achieve the Breakfast Show, after building up a large and loyal following.

Aside from his role as a broadcaster, he also became an experienced producer, and his skills saw him work on "The Most Wanted Chart show" which became the syndicated radio show for selected commercial radio stations across the UK, along with producing the unique Sunday show for Comedian Mike Doyle, often from his cruise ships worldwide, which were later transmitted across the Town and Country Broadcasting network in Wales.
