Jim Kerr Marks 50 Years + 1 Day
And in a nod to broadcast television’s enduring love and respect for “local radio stations,” please note that at one point mid-live shot, Fox 5’s on-screen Chyron helpfully reads: “Jim Kerr was the youngest radio host at WPLG,” narrowly missing the “J” of WPLJ by two letters to the right on the keyboard.
And, at 8am sharp, as we previously reported, none other than Howard Stern will join Jim for a live conversation to be simulcast on Q104.3 and SiriusXM. Be there.
This Friday, March 22, Kerr wraps up his anniversary week with a live broadcast from atop the Empire State Building from 5-10am with a special performance from Gavin Rossdale of BUSH, and conversations with Billy Joel, Jon Bon Jovi and New York Jets’ linebacker C.J. Mosley. [Special thanks to Art Vuolo, who will be in New York for Friday’s activities and promises to send photos!]
