Kent Jones joins Stephens Media Group's seven-station cluster in Spokane, WA as as Operations Manager. He'll also host mornings on Classic Hits KEYF-FM (Key 101) and will serve as Program Director for KEYF and Variety Hits KBBD-FM (Bob FM). 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 "Lisa and Kent" morning show.

Stephens Media Group SVP/Programming Bob Thornton said, "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."

"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," added Kent.
