They’ve been recognized with numerous industry awards including Radio and Records Personalities of the Year and “Best Morning Drive Show” by the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

Jayme Summers
Weekend Air Talent
I grew up in Texas, but Georgia is forever home to me. It's where I married my husband and where my kids were born. A big piece of my heart sits in a small coastal town in Southern Georgia. I kind of fell into radio, with zero intentions of being on-air (I was painfully shy... still am but I hide it better). One day a DJ got sick, and 18 years later here I am. I really love what I do and I am thankful for the many opportunities I've been given. My perfect weekend would include some kind of on the water activity with my kids and husband. I just love the water. Ocean, lake, river, or stream; if I can dip my toes in it, I'm happy. One of the greatest pieces of advice I've ever received didn't come in the form of advice. My husband and I were having lunch with our then Pastor and Friend, Brother Roland Dann. At the time there had been a lot of debate over the location of the nails. Were they in Jesus' hands or wrists? I asked Bro. Roland what he thought, and he responded with "Does it matter? What really matters is that he was hanging on a cross and dying for our sins.” That one statement, 15 years ago, is something that stuck with me. I constantly ask myself if my focus is on the nails or the cross.
