JR Reitz

I love being on the radio. I've had a long career in broadcasting and couldn’t imagine doing anything else. I grew up in Upstate New York, and have logged thousands of hours behind the mic. Radio has allowed me to meet the greatest people in entertainment, including Jay Leno, Mariah Carey, Rihanna, the Rolling Stones, Steven Tyler, Wyclef Jean, Janet Jackson and so many more. I have also done live broadcasts from Universal Studios Orlando and hosted several listener cruises to the Caribbean. In July 2018, I began working in the WBSM newsroom as well as continuing on the air at Fun 107.
