Kent Jones has joined Stephens Media Group as Operations Manager in Spokane, WA.

The Spokane cluster includes Classic Hits “Key 101” KEYF, Variety Hits “Bob FM” KBBD, Country “93.7 The Mountain” KDRK, CHR “Now FM” KZBD, Sports & Hip-Hop “103.5 The Game” KGA and Rock “94.1 The Bear” KJRB-AM/FM.

Kent Jones, a graduate of Ohio University, moves from Oklahoma City, where he served as Program Director at KOMA for 31 years. He also hosted the top-rated “Lisa and Kent” morning show.

According to Stephens Media Group SVP Programming Bob Thornton, “Kent has been an independent contractor for us over the past 4 years so this feels a little bit like a promotion from within. Kent has been a key part of our family already, which made this decision a no-brainer. His success in both morning drive and programming made him an incredible candidate for this position.”

Jones will host morning drive on KEYF and will serve as Program Director for KEYF and KBBD.
“The opportunity to join Stephens Media Group and move to Spokane is very exciting. This is a great group of stations and I’m looking forward to working with the team here. Radio is such a fun business and this is a beautiful part of the country. I’m really going to enjoy being here,” said Kent.

Kent and his wife, Barbara have been married for 34 years and now live in Spokane Valley. Their daughter, Melanie resides in Seattle.
