• 0:10
  Speaker 1: we share a wall with them. Give it up in
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: studio right now, Jim Kerr and the new Rock and
• 0:15

• 0:17
  Speaker 1: but we have a lot to explain here.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Jim, welcome, Thank you so much, Guffy, thank you, Christine.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Of course, we have been happy to be next door
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: neighbors to our friends at light FM, and we literally
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: are for our friends who don't quite understand what that means.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: We share the hallway, we share the wall. I could
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: do this, yes, and I can come over and see
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: what you want.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you have exciting news going on with your show.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Well, we have two promotions, all right, to celebrate. First,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Trevor Martin was hired as our producer. Two weeks later,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: the world turned upside down and the COVID pandemic hit.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Blame me for that, so I only, I only, I
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: only worked with him for a couple of weeks and
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: suddenly I was ordered to work from home, as as
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: was Shelley, who was of course with me for all
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: those years in the morning at Q one of four
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: point three. But somebody had to be in the studio
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: operating all of the equipment, and that was Trevor, so
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: I worked with him. So I worked with him for
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: fifteen months without actually seeing him in person. And traditionally
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: our producers didn't really have much of an on air presence.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: It was more of a you know, kind of backstage role,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: but we had to communicate with one another on the
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: air while the show was on the air, you know,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: like I'd have to say to him, do we have
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: somebody to play the contest? And he'd go, yeah, it's
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Julie from Sayerville, right, you know, all that sort of thing.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: It's a very pivotally.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: So eventually he became more and more of an on
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: air presence and people liked him and he's funny, and
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: through the years, while maintaining his producer job, he really
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: became much more than just a even though producer job
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: is a big.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: Job, a huge joe.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: So we decided to make were going so we decided
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: so we decided to make it official and promoted him
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: to co host slash producer of the show.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Ladies and Gentlemen.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: We thank you and Trevor, we know and love you
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: for a long time, and congrats on this brand new role.
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: Thank you. I'm very excited. I'm honored. I've grown up
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: in New Jersey, been in the Tri State my whole life,
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: and love rock and roll music and to do a
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: morning radio show still blows my mind. But to do
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: it with Jim Kerr blows my mind and my pants off.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: So it's well, I could have I could have lived
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: without that information. Meanwhile, Kristin Marks, who would never think
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: of saying something as weird as.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: That, now the spotlight there's more, she joined.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: She joined our show. Now, this was just a serendipitous situation.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Last summer, our regular substitute newscaster was unavailable and Shelley
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Sunstein was going on vacation, and I had seen some
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: social media posts that Kristin Marx had made from different
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: rock concerts and rock shows that she liked to go to,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: and she was working in our iHeartRadio New York news
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: bureau doing straight news stories. I just thought maybe she
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: would be a good substitute, so I mentioned it to
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: my boss and to Shelley, and then Shelley trained her
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: and she was brought on to fill in for two weeks.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: That was in August. Then there were tragic circumstances in
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Shelley's life. She took a four month leave of absence,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: and at the end of the four month leave of
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: absence in January, she notified us that she was now
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: returning to work. Meanwhile, the two week fill in had
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: gone on for months and months and months, and just
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: last week we made it permanent and Kristin Marx was
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: transferred from her part of the company twenty four to
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: seven News it's called to our part of the company,

  Speaker 2: and she is now co host Slash newscaster.

• 4:12
  Speaker 6: be here. And yeah, I'm a longtime cue listener and
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: I started my career out with rock radio, so that
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: was like coming home and.
