J.R. most recently spent the past three years hosting the J.R. & Beth Show on Y100 in San Antonio, Texas, prior to working in Orlando and San Diego. He currently serves as the host of United Station's syndicated Twenty Country Countdown. In addition to radio, J.R. has a background in television and co-starred on shows such as Nickelodeon's "Victorious" and ABC Family's "Greek".

"We are building something really special here and J.R. is the final piece of the puzzle that is built on unique content made in Tampa Bay for Tampa Bay," said Operations Manager Travis Daily. "J.R. and Melanie will very quickly become the show everyone is talking about."

"This is a very exciting time for me," said J.R. "To be able to build a show under the direction of Travis Daily and alongside a talented Cohost like Melanie Mineau is the opportunity I have been looking for. We are going to have a lot of fun in an amazing city! I am very grateful to Travis and the Beasley Family for this opportunity and can't wait to create live, local, and unique radio for the Tampa area. HERE WE GO! "
