Jim Kerr
iHeartMedia Classic Rock WAXQ (Q104.3)/New York announced today a five-year extension for legendary on-air personality Jim Kerr, beginning today through 2026.
The Radio Hall of Famer began his tenure at Q104.3 in January 2002 and was later joined by Shelli Sonstein in October 2003.
“Getting to work every day with one of the true legends like Jim is a joy and a privilege,” said PD Eric Wellman. “Knowing he will be with Q104.3 entertaining our audience every morning along with Shelli lets me sleep better at night. Here’s to another five years with Jim Kerr!”
Kerr is the longest-running morning radio personality in New York City history. He has been the morning show host on six New York City stations, most notably 18 years at Q104.3 and 15 years at WPLJ, where he became New York’s youngest morning show host at 21 years old.
“When I joined Q104.3, my biggest hope was that it would be the second-best job I ever had,” said Kerr. “As things worked out, it has turned out to be the best.”
