Jerry Broadway started his career in radio in his home state of Mississippi in 1989, when he took a part-time night shift at a local station so he would have some “walking around money” while working his way through college.

Two years later, he had a change of dreams, and decided not to pursue a career in law enforcement, but to focus his attention instead on what he felt was his true calling….radio.

During his career, Jerry has been honored with numerous local and statewide awards at various stops along the way. In 1999, he was listed in the Salvation Army’s “Century of Heroes” campaign for his work in getting some 10,000 “angels” (underprivileged children) from the Angel Tree adopted for Christmas over the course of seven years. In 2003 he was named Public Citizen of The Year by the Alabama Association of Social Workers for his work in raising awareness of child abuse with Jerry Broadway’s Rooftop Campout For Kids.

In recent years, the show was awarded the Country Music Association Personality of The Year Award in 2018, as well as the Academy of Country Music Award for  Personality of The Year in 2018 and 2022 respectively.
