Jim Gregory

"KIX WAKE UP CREW" 6-9A

Delta Radio legend Jim Gregory was born in a cotton field on the outskirts of Drew, Mississippi. Immediately his parents noticed there was something different about him and expected great things from him, because he was actually born with a transistor radio attached to his head. Of course, it was never pointed out that he was different from all the other children. It wasn’t until much later that he discovered the problem and realized that partially explained the voices in his head.

Jim’s first experience in radio ended tragically when he froze in front of the microphone at WDRU in Drew and had to be hosed down and dragged from the control room in a semi-conscious state. To his credit, he returned later that day and became hooked on broadcasting immediately after receiving his first phone call from a woman listener who said, “Gee, you sound sooooooo hot.” From that day forward, Jim would forego his dream of being a nuclear physicist and conCentrate solely on radio.

Jim later worked at WCLD as well as several stations in the Jackson market, where he quickly became a favorite of the patients at Whitfield. In 1992, Jim returned to the Delta to help establish 92.9 WDTL. When dark forces overtook WDTL in 2003, Jim spent several years wandering in an empty void before joining KIX-92.1 to host the morning show.

Jim has two daughters, Jamie and Lauren, plus a menagerie of dogs and cats. Email Jim
