David Jacobs (born 1926) is a British broadcaster, who became known as a disc jockey in the 1950s. Although not the original presenter of Pick of the Pops, which was then on the BBC Light Programme, he created the programme's chart show format between 1957 and 1961, and briefly returned to the show in 1962. He also presented Juke Box Jury on BBC television between 1959 and 1967, and was one of the original presenters of Top of the Pops when it began in 1964. By 1967, however, he was no longer in tune with the direction of most pop music, and since then he has spent most of his career at BBC Radio 2. In the 1980s he presented a daily lunchtime show on that station playing what he described as "our kind of music", concentrating on popular tunes from musical theatre. He now represents the station's "old guard", and like most such presenters he is heard on Sundays, where he presents a late evening show called "The David Jacobs Collection".
