About Us

Steve Jones

Position: General Manager
Profession: Radio Broadcasting Manager

Steve is originally from Western Canada.  He was born in Dauphin, Manitoba, but spent most of his school life in Saskatchewan living in Langenburg, Tisdale and the Saskatoon area. Steve didn’t catch the radio bug until he was a student at the University of Saskatchewan.  After winning a clock radio in a contest while working at A&W, he got hooked on radio and everything changed.  Two years later he enrolled in a radio course at Western Academy Broadcasting College in Saskatoon.

Over the next three years he would bounce from station to station working many different formats across Western Canada with the ultimate goal of landing in Christian radio.  That dream became a reality in 2001 when the Afternoon Drive position opened up at CHRI 99.1 FM, a Christian radio station in Ottawa. Steve had always been a fan of LIFE 100.3 and kept in touch with LIFE 100.3 Founder, Scott Jackson, for the next three years. On August 11, 2003 Steve accepted a position at LIFE and began what has been a life changing and exciting 16 plus years.

When he’s not busy at LIFE, he enjoys spending time with his wife Shauna (who is the Bookkeeper at LIFE), their two kids Aiden and Leah, and their dog Maisie.

He enrolled in the radio course at Humber College and began his career working part-time in 1977 at CHEX in Peterborough and then on-air in 1978 at CKLC Kingston. Since the start, his radio journey has taken him to nine different cities, each for a radio job in various music formats and positions.

A career milestone took place in 1996 when Scott relocated to Nashville for the position of Vice President of Programming and Operations at WAY-FM, the leading Christian radio station in the United States. Here Scott learned the infrastructure of listener supported Christian radio. Upon his returned to Canada in 1997 he began the process to bring LIFE 100.3 to Central Ontario. LIFE 100.3 signed on the air August 15, 1999.

On April 30, 2020, Scott passed the baton of leadership to Steve Jones, stepping aside from his position. He continues to host the weekly Retro Show, support Canadian Christian artists and consult, sharing his knowledge and experience with the current leadership team at LIFE 100.3.
