Jonesy’s Jukebox, the radio program featuring Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones that was a staple of the late, great L.A. radio station Indie 103.1, returns to FM on Friday. Jones, rejoined by producer Mark Sovel, aka “Mr. Shovel,” will host a two-hour program on L.A.’s KLOS (95.5 FM).

In an announcement, the station calls the latest incarnation of the program a “two-hour open forum show where the only rule is doing whatever Jones wants.” In the past that has included spinning music from the eclectic collection of the punk legend, who recently turned 60, to wide-ranging interviews. The new weekly show will run Fridays, noon to 2 p.m.

Jonesy’s Jukebox was a daily staple in Indie 103.1 from its launch in 2004 until the station’s demise in early 2009. The show had a run on Internet radio beginning later that year, and then on KROQ from late 2010 until March 2013.
