CHARLIE DEREK IN THE MORNING

Before joining 94Country WKKJ, Charlie was the top-rated morning personality on Florida's Central Gulf Coast Adult Contemporary station WFSY-FM, Panama City for seven years. Prior to joining WFSY, Charlie spent four years as morning personality on highly-rated KQQL-FM, Minneapolis/St. Paul. From 1983-1989 Charlie did mornings for KRAV-FM, Tulsa. A fixture for many years in Tulsa radio, Charlie was also morning personality for KMOD-FM and spent three years doing mornings for legendary Country station KVOO.

JIM CASEY
11am-4pm
Jim Casey is the midday host on 94Country WKKJ. Jim admits that he decided on a career in radio when he was younger because it seemed like "a fun and easy job."
"A junior high school speech teacher told me that I had a good voice for radio," he recalls. "I thought, ‘Well, that isn’t really working – I could do that!’"Although he’s entertaining on the air, Jim is serious when talking about his 20-year radio career. In addition to being part of the WKKJ air staff since the mid ‘80s, he programmed KKYX-FM in San Antonio. This station is legendary for its signal that covered all of South Texas.
More than 30 years later, Jim has changed his opinion about the difficulty of working in radio. "It sounds easy to be on the air," Jim says. "But it’s a hard thing to learn to do."
Hard work doesn’t prevent Jim from having fun on the air. Listeners who tune into the program are likely to get lots of laughs, along with their country music favorites.

JERRY WALKER
1am - 6am
Jerry Walker hosts overnights on 94Country WKKJ.
Jerry’s interest in radio began when he was a kid on Brooklyn’s "mean streets." He remembers using some rather primitive radio equipment to "broadcast" a show to his neighborhood. "I had a Lafayette electronic transmitter and a WebCor record player," he says. "I think the signal reached about three blocks."

"I had a Lafayette electronic transmitter and a WebCor record player," he says. "I think the signal reached about three blocks."Jerry’s background in radio spans 30 years and covers work at major Top 40 and Country stations ranging from Dallas to New York, and large markets in Canada.
Jerry says that the highlight of his career before coming to WKKJ was his work with WBAP, Dallas. "WBAP’s signal covers 42 states," he says. "It’s kind of humbling to realize that your voice is being heard by well over half the Country during certain times of the day."
Along with radio, Jerry lists his wife Tina and son Robbie as his main interests.
