Steve Jenner

Steve Jenner is a former ILR senior presenter and half of two brothers who were founding directors of two FM ILR stations covering Derbyshire’s Peak District and East Staffordshire. He claims to understand more about the listening habits of sheep than any other living person.

As former radio and TV ‘talking head’ for a major language campaign organisation, he’s been heard on over 80% of BBC local radio stations with paid appearances on BBC1, BBC2, ITV, Sky, CNN and Russian state TV amongst others. He’s been on the famous red BBC Breakfast sofa 5 times.

After selling the stations, Steve went on to present for Radio Caroline, North and Flashback for over three years, performing 10 live shows from Ross Revenge and pre-recording many more for overnight transmission, acting as occasional guide to visitors on broadcast weekend tours.

Since then he is grateful his retirement has been disturbed by a dozen or more excellent radio stations inviting him to join them, one being LV18 Radio Mi Amigo, for whom he presents a weekly show and joined the on–board team for live ‘all vinyl 45s’ shows from the deck of the LV18: Steve is one of very few DJs who have presented live shows from the decks of the two boats moored around the UK coast still used for broadcasting music from the offshore years.

His initial broadcasting experience was on a highly – rated Nottingham onshore pirate station. Steve presents an early weekday breakfast show for his local community Staffordshire / Cheshire DAB station Churnet Sound and was involved in the sale of a Peak District online radio station he helped his brother set up.

Steve’s written or co-written four books about music and radio, one making UK number 1 on Amazon’s relevant sales chart. Until recently he was a contributor to a top London – based music review website, he was invited by Derbyshire County Council’s museum service to stage an exhibition about the development of radio in the Peak District and Nottinghamshire County Council recently accepted many broadcasting artefacts which were in his possession into museum stock for display.

Married to Sue for 45 years and counting, they have grown up children and rapidly growing grandchildren. He loves doing whatever he likes.
