Cumulus Media Los Angeles announces that Rock legend Steve Jones, guitarist for the Sex Pistols and Iggy Pop and host of "Jonesy's Jukebox" on KLOS-FM, has been chosen to receive a star on the legendary Hollywood Walk of Fame as the sole honoree in the Radio category for the Walk of Fame Class of 2018. The WOF Selection Committee of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce announced the full list of honorees Thursday in the categories of Motion Pictures, Television, Live Theatre/Live Performance, Radio and Recording.

Jones and his fellow honorees were chosen among hundreds of nominations to the committee at a meeting held in June and ratified by the Hollywood Chamber's Board of Directors. Television Producer and Walk of Famer Vin Di Bona, Chair of the Walk of Fame Selection Committee for 2017 announced the new honorees with Leron Gubler, President & CEO for the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce -- who is also the emcee of the Walk of Fame ceremonies.

"The Walk of Fame Selection Committee is pleased to announce our newest honorees to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The Committee looked carefully at each nominee and we feel that we have selected an eclectic group of talent that will appeal to the tastes of many fans around the world," said Di Bona.

Jones is no stranger to radio in Southern California. "Jonesy's Jukebox" was previously heard on Indie 103.1 for 5 years. The show garnered major attention and acclaim over the years as one of the best commercial radio shows in the nation from L.A. Weekly, Rolling Stone, Esquire and Spin.

Cumulus Media Los Angeles VP/Market Manager Dawn Girocco said, "Steve Jones is one of the most unique, interesting and exciting people in radio. Listening to 'Jonesy's Jukebox' is like eavesdropping on a conversation in his living room. He brings out the best in his guests and gives listeners more than they ever expect from his storytelling, interviews and fantastic music. We are so excited about this huge and well-deserved honor for Steve and to have him join the ranks of his fellow esteemed inductees and all the legends of entertainment represented on the star-studded Hollywood Walk of Fame."
