\n “Sunday in the Country” returns to the Kingston airwaves starting in January.\n <\/p>\n

A familiar voice is returning to live radio in Kingston.<\/p>\n

Iconic Kingston broadcaster Jeff Code is joining New Country 98.9, bringing his long-running program Sunday in the Country to the station beginning Sunday, Jan. 11.<\/p>\n

The show will air live every Sunday from 6 a.m. to noon, featuring phone calls, music requests and on-air dedications. The format is designed to keep listeners directly involved, something Code has been known for throughout his career.<\/p>\n

Code went on with Big G and Matty Friday morning and told them he is excited to be here.<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

Code has been a staple of Kingston radio for decades, building a loyal audience by focusing on real-time connection and companionship on Sunday mornings. Recent changes outside his control meant his previous show could no longer be live and interactive.<\/p>\n

So, we made that right.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Code said it will be the same show he has done for the past 21 years, just on a different frequency on the radio dial.<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

New Country 98.9 Program Director Dave Devine said, “Adding Jeff Code reflects our commitment to local voices and community-focused programming. Sunday mornings \u00a0will become an appointment listen, drawing longtime fans and new listeners alike. We’re so happy to welcome Jeff into the fold.”<\/p>\n

MBC, parent company of New Country 98.9, said the move strengthens local radio by keeping trusted personalities live, local and human.<\/p>\n

Welcome Jeff! We can’t wait to get started!\u00a0<\/p>\n
