JJ was the assistant program director (and earlier the APD/Music director) of KQMB-FM "Star 102.7," which was an EXCELLENT hot A/C station. He was on-air in the mid-day shift, moved to afternoons (when the PD moved to mornings), mornings, back to afternoons.
Unfortunately, Bonneville felt their flagship AM station needed a simulcast partner on FM and they booted the entire staff on September 2, 2005. The station was doing very well in its demographics, but the market had become saturated with competitors- so after 9 years the plug was pulled.
