Jason Grider 10am – 3pm

Jason Grider is a lifelong Cookeville native with deep roots in the Upper Cumberland community. A graduate of the Class of ’92, Jason got his start in radio at just 15 years old and has spent his entire career building a reputation as a passionate and driven broadcasting professional.

Today, he serves as General Manager of Cookeville Communications, where he continues to shape the local media landscape while staying true to the community that raised him. Jason’s love for classic rock runs as deep as his local ties—he still remembers cruising “the strip” on Jefferson Avenue as a teenager, soundtrack blasting.

Outside the office, Jason is a family man first. He’s married to his wife Donna, Jason has two children, Caleb and Maddy. These days, he’s also enjoying life as a proud grandfather of two.

With decades of experience and a genuine connection to Cookeville, Jason brings both authenticity and energy to everything he does.
