Jason Howard Googles ‘Wind Chill Factor’

• Jason Howard is about to experience the thrill and excitement of an authentic Upstate New York winter for the first time in over a decade, as he returns to the Empire State to co-host Tracy & Jason In The Morning on iHeartMedia Hot AC WRVE (99.5 The River)/Albany, NY, teaming up with existing co-host Tracy Villaume, weekday mornings from 5:30-10am.

Howard comes home after spending the past 12+ years in the tropical splendor of the Cayman Islands, working for Hurley’s Media as Operations Manager of the company’s four radio stations. More recently he was also Lead Weather Presenter on Hurley-owned Cayman 27 News. A graduate of SUNY Brockport, NY, Howard spent the first seven years of his radio career with CBS Radio Rochester, NY, rising from Promotions Asst. to MD and on-air host.

“Jason’s experience as an entertaining morning host, along with his commitment to community involvement will be a great asset to The River,” said Randy McCarten, SVP of Programming for iHeartMedia Albany and PD of 99.5 The River. “Tracy and Jason have a chemistry that is just a lot of fun to hear every morning.” Howard remarked, “I’m so grateful for the opportunity to join this already successful team here at 99.5 The River. The music is great and the market is welcoming. I just hope this winter — my first in 13 years — is too!”
