The Life and Times of Jake McBride


I was born a fat white child in the hills of Virginia....and everything has changed...
well, almost everything...I am still white. I have been doing radio for nearly 17 years,
and I can honestly say that it has been a rewarding career choice.....

The radio deal started in Anniston Alabama at a small...and I mean small Southern Gospel 
station....blasting all of 5,000 watts...we were a powerhouse! I then made the leap to Alabama 100
...a HUGE and I mean HUGE country station in the metropolis of Anniston, Alabama......as a matter
 of fact by the time I left that station I had moved all the way to GENERAL MANAGER....
but I was the only one there ....so I was the Morning Show guy and the janitor!!

I moved to Kix Country in the spring of 2001 and fell in love with the area....the history...the people....
the activities all convinced me that I had found my new home.....face it, living in Alabama among Crimson 
Tide fans was more like a sentence for a bad crime....leaving that "neck of the woods" was a pleasure.
I soon feel in love with Kix Country!

Speaking of being in love.....allow me to introduce you to the family....


Cydnee and Halee are on the front row....Macie, Kadie and Melina
