The Steve Huntington Show

He got his Television/Radio degree at Syracuse University to propel his career to Utica, Tampa, Miami, KIFM San Diego, the national WAVE Network and then WLOQ Orlando. And the move to Florida was life-changing.

Jimmy Buffett knew where his early radio support was, and WQSR “Quad 102 & a Half” in the Tampa market in the 70’s was one of them. On-air interviews, tour rehearsals and softball games strengthened the connection. When in the 1990’s, he was exploring how to start his own radio station, Jimmy called Steve to put the music and the style together. In 1998, Radio Margaritaville started with hour-long on-demand programs, out of Steve’s house. By early the next year it was full time, broadcasting online from a little windowless office in the back lot of Universal Studios, right next to the very large Nickelodeon studios.

In January 2025, after an impressive 25-year run at Radio Margaritaville (including 14 years as Program Director), Steve Huntington brought his deep well of broadcasting expertise and encyclopedic music knowledge to Radio Trop Rock. Steve became the fifth DJ with Radio Margaritaville experience to join the Radio Trop Rock team.

The Steve Huntington Radio Show presented by Our Key West airs Thursdays at noon CST/1pm EST and Saturdays at 9am central/10am EST.
