Hale Of A View: Former longtime Jackson County Broadcasting/Jackson, OH Hot AC WKOV morning host JJ Hale has rejoined the company as COO/Dir. Radio Operations for the four-station cluster that includes Country WCJO. “Although I have not been here on a day-to-day basis, I have always been involved with the stations on some level,” says Hale, who left his Nutt Hutt morning show in March 2000 to focus on his work in the insurance industry. He has also worked part-time in radio throughout the 22-year absence and has 30 total years of broadcasting experience. Hale shared the news with listeners during a sit-down with Silverfish/Compass nationally syndicated Big D & Bubba, who can be heard in mornings on WCJO. Watch here.
