The Breeze Show Pilot
Jason was invited to The Breeze in Southampton to demo. This led to cover work on the network over Easter and an offer to join full time in Torquay. An offer that was difficult to turn down.
Coast 103.2 Dubai

Real Radio Network
Whilst working for Bauer in Hull, Preston and Leeds, Jason joined the Real Radio Network as a freelancer as it transformed into Heart. 3 months work led to a year working at Salford Quays.
Rock FM Preston
Possibly the coolest station building in the UK. You have to hand it to EMAP and Bauer they understood a great building helps make great radio. Really proud to have worked at 'The Rocking Church'.
Paddy McGuiness Key 103
Paddy was a regular face at Key 103 way before Top Gear. This interview came about with no notice as he'd arrived too late to be on the breakfast show. Total pro, lovely bloke and naturally funny.
James Morrisson Key 103
James performed at Key 103's Summer Ball and caught up with Jason afterwards. Posh frocks, touring, festivals and cancelling summer all featured. James also revealed his hidden talent for nappies!
Spandau Ballet Key 103

106 Century FM
Jason joined Century FM in Nottingham at relaunch under Capital Radio PLC. What an amazing ride to go from a non threat to market leader in Derby, Leicester and Nottingham in just 4 years.

Jason King worked for Real Radio North West as a presenter. The shows he presented were a mix of local and network. He was a great member of the team - always going above and beyond to the get the job done well. He was reliable and really understood and delivered on-target content required by the format. He's a great talent with bags of experience and a pleasure to work with.
Jason is a pro. He takes a real effort to understand the bigger goals and aspirations and looks at the part he can play in that. He's never short of ideas and always plays the team game. On air he sounds assured and warm - that's what you get off air too.
I've worked with Jason for over 20 years and he continues to be a fantastic radio presenter. He still delivers compelling, entertaining and engaging radio, whilst being reliable and a team player.
I was Jason's Programme Director whilst he worked at Fox FM in Oxfordshire and found him to be a supremely professional radio presenter, highly proficent technically with a wonderful vocal delivery. Above all I valued his on-air consistency and off air friendly manner.
I have known Jason for several years, dating back to 2009. Whilst I admired his dedication; professionalism and talent from afar - it wasn't until I arrived in Dubai in 2011 /2012 and became his direct report line that I got to work with him. Jason is a huge talent - who gets radio, gets how to communicate and how to present entertaining radio. He was a joy to work with - never holding back on creative ideas and looking to better both himself and the business. In addition to all that - Jason is a top guy, who is great company on a social level and just a really decent chap, who I would love to work with again at some stage.
Jason is a radio professional of the highest standard. His passion is radio and this shows in his ability to constantly deliver top notch programming. His experience is second to none and as such Jason is somebody I would recommend to be a part of any radio team.
