WJON Newsroom

Jim Maurice
News Director
I’m a life long resident of the great state of Minnesota.  Grew-up in the small West Central Minnesota town of Maynard – population 400 (give or take a few).  My graduating class had a total of 20 people.  Through my broadcasting career, I’ve made stops Montevideo, Redwood Falls, and now here in St. Cloud.  I enjoy covering the many different areas of local news, but my favorites are:  politics, schools, and human-interest stories.  I’m always looking for great stories, so drop me a line if you’ve got a tip for me.  In my free time you could find me at a variety of events around the community, relaxing at the lake “up-north”, or watching a reality TV show (I’m a self-confessed reality show junkie).

I am a St. Cloud native, grew up in south St. Cloud and graduated from Tech High School.  From there, I went to play college football at the University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse.  Three years later, I transferred to St. Cloud State University where I finished my schooling and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communications.  I began working as a full-time news reporter at WJON in October of 1996 and nearly 12 years later I am still covering St. Cloud area news for Regent Broadcasting and its six radio stations.

I grew up in Mora Minnesota but I live in the Twin Cities at the moment. I graduated from Brown College in 2007 with a degree in radio broadcasting. My first job was as an on air announcer at a country/polka and a classic rock radio station in Faribault, MN. Throughout my life and career I wanted to do news and WJON gave me that chance. I feel privileged to work with this award-winning staff. In my free time I enjoy golfing, spending time at home watching movies and playing with my kitten "Bullet".

I love radio and radio news. I've worked here for a long time and love what this station -- and now this website -- have come to mean in this community.  Radio's not my only joy -- I also have a passion for trivia, travel, ghosts and Bigfoot. (Hey, when you grow up in Northern Minnesota, you'd be surprised what you believe in...)  Together, my wife and I are on a quest to find the world's best clam chowder.
