A notable feature of the school was Jones College Radio, a non-commercial broadcast from the campus on station WKTZ-FM (90.9 MHz), 24 hours a day. The programming content was easy listening, branded as "Beautiful Music". The station began as an AM station in 1964, then switched to FM in 1973. The station is played in many businesses and professional offices on the First Coast instead of commercial muzak and can be accessed via the station's Internet website. The station was recently sold and the beautiful music format was replaced with Christian radio. However, the beautiful music is still available on the internet.
