JVC has been in rapid staff expansion mode company wide, continuing the JVC strategy of live, local and fun radio. JVC has been hiring and staffing the company with radio pros and industry veterans and Steve and Leeana are no exceptions.

Steve and Leeana have been a part of Long Island radio mornings for decades and now they will be part of mornings on JVC’s Party 105!

“The new Party 105 morning show will be fun, locally focused and family friendly”, said Vice President and General Manager of JVC Broadcasting, NY Bruce Shepard, “Steve and Leeana both live on Long Island, unlike other shows in the market”, he added.

Steve’s career began at age 17 on Long Island, where he became the youngest afternoon drive announcer in the U-S on WYFA, 1580. From there it was onto WBLI, where he reigned for over two and a half decades, followed by 101.7 The Beach and 92.9 WEHM and mornings for almost a decade at Long Island’s K98.3.

Leeana has been bringing her quick wit and bubbly personality to the Long Island airwaves for over 15 years. Leeana feels most at home with her cohost Steve where they give listeners an entertaining start to their busy days.

JVC Media’s President and CEO John Caracciolo added, “This is live, local and hometown radio the way it is supposed to be, we’re not phoning it in. To say you are live and local isn’t enough, the radio personalities have to be involved in the community, involved in local charity’s and events and become ambassadors for the radio station. There is no better team to do this than Steve and Leeana”.
