Jason Reeves (born May 1976, Hastings) is a radio broadcaster and television presenter from New Zealand. He previously hosted the breakfast show on Auckland's Classic Hits 97.4, prior to this Jason hosted the drive show nationwide on Classic Hits and worked on The Edge as breakfast co-host and hosted Headliners on TVNZ, and New Zealand's Got Talent.
Reeves began his radio career in 1994 at the age of 18 after leaving Karamu High School, and worked on Hot 93FM in Hawkes Bay. He remained there until 1996, when he moved to another Hawkes Bay Station, Xtreme 100. In 1997, he moved to Hamilton to work on the then local station, The Edge, originally on the drive time show, but moved to the breakfast show with Jay Jay Feeney in 1998. Reeves worked at The Edge as it progressed from a local Hamilton station to a nationwide network station based in Auckland.
At the end of 2004, Reeves left The Edge, reportedly as a result of a prank carried out by his breakfast co-hosts Jay Jay Feeney and Dominic Harvey. Jay Jay and Dom started sending Jason text messages from a prepay cellphone pretending to be a fan who had somehow managed to obtain Jason's number. Over 100 texts were sent and management of The Edge were aware such a prank was going on. Jason left, filing a personal grievance against The Edge operators, MediaWorks NZ.
In February 2005, only three months after leaving The Edge, Reeves was given a job with opposition station ZM, originally co-hosting Stables Rump 30 countdown with Stables (another former Edge presenter), on Saturday afternoons and later, his own Saturday morning breakfast show with co-host Andrew Mulligan. He also filled in for other ZM announcers, including Stables, while he took leave to judge NZ Idol and the ZM Morning Crew, Polly and Grant. In February 2007, Reeves moved to Classic Hits and hosted the drive time show. For a while Jason also hosted a Sunday afternoon.
