Jeff is a community-minded citizen of Bathurst who presents three quite different programs.
Live and Local Breakfast is broadcast each weekday from 6am, including a repeat of the previous edition of The Wire.
Jeff presents 2MCE's Live and Local breakfast from 7am Thursdays. Listeners get some bright wake-up music from current Top 50 charts, birthday and history flashbacks and local interviews on current events.
All of 2MCE's programs are streamed so anyone with internet access can hear them online at radio.2mce.org and Jeff has regular listeners in the USA and sometimes crosses to folk in California and Nevada as they listen in to his streamed breakfast program when it is Wednesday afternoon their time.
One of 2MCE's longest-running program on 2MCE is Saturday Night Jukebox which was first heard on January 1, 1992.
Listeners call the studio and request recordings for four hours from 6pm and when they do they may hear Jeff's friendly voice as he is one of the volunteers who is "at the mic" for those hours. Text 0412 009 923 or call 6331 0092.
Sunday nights on 2MCE are different again.
From 8pm, all the great old music you want to remember is broadcast on Jeff's Here It Comes Again program.
This program features two hours of popular recordings from yesteryear.
Jeff's selections may be based on a theme, as they were on Mother's Day when they all had some relevance to mothers, or perhaps the anniversary of a notable event.
Because of COVID-19 restrictions Here It Comes Again is a recorded program currently but the nostalgic play list continues, put together by Jeff each week.
Jeff Cox is one of our radio station's valued volunteers.
Radio has always been part of his life, starting from his youth on a Victorian dairy farm when he listened in the milking shed.
Just before he moved from Rockley to Bathurst several years ago he became part of the local radio community.
But that's not all. Jeff's other community volunteer activities include helping out with Legacy, the Royal Bathurst Show, Bathurst Memorial Entertainment Centre and the Bathurst Eisteddfod, to name just a few.
In 2015 the Bathurst Regional Council declared Jeff Cox to be a "living legend". Thank you Jeff.
