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
