A Final Entry

I'm resetting the alarm on my smart phone.  No more pre-dawn wake up calls.  Beginning December 1 J93.3 becomes The JOY FM.  That means a new morning show, The Morning Cruise with Dave, Carmen and Bill.  I'll shifting to later in the day with new co-host Shannon Steele for "Prevenings with Jerry & Shannon."  Yes, "prevenings," that ambiguous time between afternoon and evening, prevening.  We'll be on Monday through Friday from 3:00 PM till 7:00 PM.

Carmen, Bill & Dave, The Morning Cruise

I rejoined the Morning Show at J93.3 in February of this year, teaming for the third time with Sheila Richards.  It was a bittersweet couple of months, sharing Sheila's last days on the air.  But it was a lot of fun.  Since July, when Sheila was just too sick to make it in, I've been holding down mornings alone.  My daughter, Kelsey, did come in from time to time to help out.  And Kelsey still works for J93.3, doing a variety of things, mostly behind the scenes.

It's an exciting season for the ministry of J93.3.  I hope you'll continue to pray for us as look forward to continued growth and, most importantly, serving God together with you.

Ready For Thanks

Seems lately that Thanksgiving gets the short end of the stick.  Used to be that Thanksgiving had a little build up all its own and then the Christmas season kicked in.  Now it seems that retailers, desperate to hit their fourth quarter sales projections, have started leap frogging from Labor Day right to Christmas.

Well on J93.3 we want to make sure Thanksgiving gets the attention it deserves.  So tomorrow on the Morning Show we'll be giving you an opportunity to call in and tell everyone what you're most thankful for in the past year.  You can also leave comments on the J93.3 Face Book page.

Tomorrow will be my last day on the Morning Show.  I'm taking a few days off to spend Thanksgiving with family.  Rob Langer will fill in on Wednesday.  Then next Thursday J93.3 becomes The JOY FM with the Morning Cruise with Dave, Carmen and Bill starting your day weekdays from 6:00 AM till 10:00 AM.  I'll be joined by co-host Shannon Steele on a brand new show, Prevenings with Jerry & Shannon.  Yes, Prevenings.  That ambiguous period between afternoon and evening, prevening.  We'll be on weekdays from 3:00 PM till 7:00 PM.

Since tomorrow is my last day in the mornings, it will also be my last day of blogging here on The J93.3 Morning Show Blog.  But I hope to get back up to speed on my other blog, "And Jerry".  And who knows, Shannon and I may start a new "Prevenings Blog" too.


Fall Concert Series Wrap Up
We want to thank everyone who came out for any of the shows on the J93.3 Fall Concert Series.  We kicked it off way back on October 20 with Casting Crowns and wrapped it up this past Saturday with Brandon Heath and Britt Nicole.

Jerry and some of the many J93.3 listeners before the Brandon Heath show on Saturday.

To mark the last show in the series I took some photos of the audience while I was on stage.  We'll have those on the J93.3 Face Book page.  Feel free to tag yourself if you find your picture in there.
