Jason Jeffries, CRO, CRMC, CDMC is a Southern California Media Consultant who began his career in the late 1980s working for the original 1110 KRLA and 97.1 KLSX radio stations in Los Angeles, California.

He has worked for many radio stations in his 40 year career such as KBET, KCEL, KRLA, KLSX, KWNK, KFWB, KWIZ, KRTH, KLAC, KZLA, KKLA, KLTX, KIEV, KXMX, KOCP, KWSV, along with the Salem Radio Network and the Music of Your Life radio network.

His extensive background and culture in on-air broadcasting, programing, sales, marketing, and engineering made him an in demand consultant who often went out of his way to help the people he was working with as they shared a common bond in the love of Broadcasting and for the talent that was always his top priority.

Throughout the course of his professional career, he became known as the engineer to the stars working with radio legends such as Gary Owens, Peter Marshall, Johnny Magnus, Huggy Boy, Art Laboe, Humble Harve, Damion, Shana, Frazier Smith, Mucho Morales, Warren Duffy, Ray Brien, Elmer Dills, Horace Heidt and more.

In the 2000's, he helped pioneer web audio with adding real time feeds to all of his station websites and developing live Internet radio programming content, a live morning show from Hollywood, live remote broadcasts at various clubs in the Southern California area, and a specialized rock format with emphasis on musical artists that appealed to a wide demographic in America, Canada, Europe, Japan, and Australia. He hosted the live New Years Eve shows for a number of years on radio. He was also one of the first DJs to fully support and sponsor Record Store day. He has interviewed celebrities and musicians such as Carl Palmer, Robert Lamm, Colin Blunstone, Benny Mardones, Tommy James, Grace Slick, Bonnie Tyler, Glenn Shorrock, Graham Goble, Colin Hay, Bobby Kimball, Tommy Tutone (Heath), Wayne Nelson, Stephen Housden, Peter Beckett, Martin Fry, Dan Peek, William Devaughn and countless others.

Also in the 2000s, he began to create radio mixes of songs that he loved and were hits but the original versions were too long for radio stations play so he made special edits to an assortment of new music from Asia, Lenny Kravits, Neil Young and more. They were released in Europe as the Jason Jeffries mixes.

In the last decade, he created specialized playlists for Los Angeles bowling alleys and the Iceoplex hockey ice rinks where on occasion he would show up and perform a live retro DJ set of music with a unique mix of Pop, Rock, and Disco to keep skaters on the ice.

Today, he is an Audio Archivist who's current project is assembling and curating the first official Los Angels radio museum set to open to the public in the San Fernando Valley, a suburb of Los Angeles in 2027.
