Jon Solomon (born April 19, 1973) has been the host of “Jon Solomon’s Annual 25-Hour Holiday Radio Show” at WPRB in Princeton, since 1988, when he was fifteen years old.[1]

Solomon's weekly three-hour radio program can be heard every Wednesday evening from 7 p.m. ET until 10 p.m. ET at 103.3 FM WPRB and WPRB.com. Each week's show features a live performance. More than 200 bands have appeared on this show since 2001. Philebrity called Solomon "the closest thing the Philly indie rock scene has to a John Peel".[2]
