Press release:
WCJW-FM, “CJ Country”, a country music station servicing Genesee, Wyoming & Livingston counties has tapped a local Batavian, “Jimi Jamm” (real name Frank Collins) to take over hosting the morning show on the station. Jimi has been doing weekend airshifts, sports reports and play by play of high school football for 2 years and he replaces Trevor Carey who accepted a radio job in Virginia. Jimi will be on air from 6-10am Monday-Saturdays beginning this week.
A 1987 graduate of Notre Dame High School, Jimi has been an award winning music director and DJ for radio stations in Detroit, Omaha, New Haven and Buffalo, among others as well as being a former recording artist for Buffalo-based Amherst Records. He returned to the Batavia area in 2011 with his wife, Margot because of his love of Western New York and desire to be back home where most of his family resides.
“Radio jobs are harder to find than ever, especially if you don’t want to relocate.”, says Jamm. “I am absolutely thrilled to be back working at the job I love for CJ Country in the region I love. Radio exists to serve the community and I hope to serve the audience, entertain with the music and have fun!”
WCJW, based in Warsaw can be heard in Batavia at 105.5 FM and other areas at 104.3, 103.7 and 100.9, online at wcjw.com or on the TuneIn app for smartphones and tablets.
