It was 8am on Thursday, June 28, 1984, and Jon Bernhardt took the mic. He’d just finished his sophomore year at MIT and had been volunteering at WMBR 88.1FM, since the previous September. He’d already hosted several different shows, most notably co-producing Flame Session, a Saturday evening call-in show that had developed a cult following. But this? This was the Big Time! Although a relatively new show, the Breakfast of Champions (along with its older sibling the Late Risers’ Club) anchored weekday mornings. He was nervous at first, but soon fell at ease, fueled by the music he’d picked out and the frequent phone calls from listeners offering support and making requests. He got through the two hour show, and then did it again the next week, and the week after that, and the week after that, and HOLY COW, IT’S BEEN FORTY YEARS!!! Yep, June 28, 2024 marks 40 years since Jon’s debut, and he’s celebrating by hosting an expanded 4 hour anniversary edition of his Breakfast of Champions show, playing a song or two from each year he’s been on the air. Tune in, won't you?
