Neil Mathur loves radio. He built his own basement radio station as a kid so he could play songs and talk on the air. In high school, Neil volunteered at McMaster University’s CFMU-FM and knew broadcasting was his calling. While an undergrad at the University of Toronto, he honed his radio skills working for 900 CHML and CHUM AM/FM. On-air opportunities followed in Montreal at The Weather Network and 990 CKIS. Neil later served as Music Director and Assistant Program Director at Toronto’s 97.3 EZ Rock, and as Program Director with Classical 96.3 FM. He consults for media organizations seeking to expand their reach and impact, and coaches talented broadcasters and podcasters refining their on-air performance.
His volunteer work, beyond jazz.fm91, has included mentoring with Farm Radio International and chairing the Education Committee of the Ontario Association of Broadcasters.

For nearly 20 years, Neil taught in Humber College’s Faculty of Media, Creative Arts and Design, guiding future broadcasters and media professionals. Neil Mathur holds an MA from Emerson College, Boston.
