JASPER, Fla. — After more than two years of taking South Georgia for a spin around the sports world every morning, Phil Jones is now steering his show into an afternoon time slot.

And in the process, Jones will be adding in some new destinations on his high school-centric sports show.

Jones will be restarting “The Afternoon Drive” on Fox Sports Radio Valdosta’s 96.1 FM/1150 AM sports talk station Monday from 4-6 p.m.

But Jones will no longer be broadcasting the show from the downtown Valdosta offices of Small Town Broadcasting.

Rather, he will be giving his sports views from the Jasper office of Talk 107.5 FM, which will also carry the show along with the Valdosta stations and streaming online.

“I’m very excited,” said Jones, who will also be resuming the reins as the station manager of 107.5 FM and will be in charge of programming and sales for that station.

In that role, Jones also is adding a one-hour morning news, community events show for just the Jasper station from 9-10 a.m. each weekday.

With that move and that increased involvement back into the Hamilton County community, Jones is looking forward to adding the exploits of North Florida’s teams to his show alongside their South Georgia counterparts.

From Hamilton County to Suwannee, from Columbia to Lafayette and Madison County, Jones said they will all be part of his new show.

“We wanted to get the North Florida area involved, similar to what we’ve already been doing in South Georgia,” he said. “Obviously, there’s a lot of great sports, a lot of great high school football just as there is in South Georgia.

“We wanted to take advantage of having the station there in North Florida and sort of bring the sports station there. But we’ll still have a strong Valdosta, South Georgia presence.

“More teams, more coaches and more of a listening area.”

One concern he had with the move back to the afternoon — Jones previously broadcast an afternoon show for nearly four years before moving to the morning time slot in June 2015 — was coaches being able to fit his show into their schedules since it runs during normal practice times.

However, discussions with the coaches have calmed those fears, he said.

“At first I thought it might be a challenge, but we made it work before,” Jones added. “I’ve talked to all the coaches already about the move and it seems like we’ll be able to make it work and juggling the schedules of each individual coach and we’ll be able to fit them in at some point during the two-hour window just like we were in the morning.

“I thought that was going to be one of our biggest challenges to be quite honest with you.”

And the veteran radio personality said the move has been well received among his old listeners as well.

“I know there’s a lot of old listeners excited about us going back to the afternoons,” he said. “The announcement has been received very positively. There’s been nothing but great feedback from it.”
