John Patrick I'm the guy you see on TV with Southwest Florida's Most Accurate Forecast, certified by WeatheRate.

After leading SWFL through Hurricanes Wilma, Irma, Ian, Helene and Milton, I have retired from TV and now own a company called JetStream Media, which currently owns and operates WJST-FM in Albany - Tifton, GA.

Wanna see how I use AI? This is one of many things I use it for: making radio jingles. This is a lot of work, but so much fun!

I am slamming together the station elements for Alabama so I can launch it on the 15th. This all came about LAST Sunday, when the seller wanted to do an LMA while we wait for FCC approval on the sale to my company.

AI is a big help, but it's far from perfect, as you'll see in the video...

Giving birth to station number 2 in just over two weeks. This came about on Sunday when I met with the seller. It was originally supposed to be October/November, depending how fast the FCC is with pushing Transfer of Licenses through nowadays. But, the seller wants me to handle High School Football, which starts on the 22nd. My marketing & sales guy is super thrilled with me right now. 🤣

I'm nowhere close to ready for this either. That's why it's 12:51 AM and I'm just now calling it a day, because I literally can't stare at this computer screen anymore. I started about 10:00 this morning. I take the station over via Lease Management Agreement (LMA) on August 15th at 12:01 AM. Papers should be filed either this week or early next week. I'll officially own it sometime before the end of the year, again depending on how fast the FCC is.

We had a great sendoff for Robert Van Winkle, as he heads off to Seattle in a couple days. Look who came out!

When going back and forth to Georgia, I love to scan the dial. Both FM and AM.

I found the rare AM station playing music! 1170 in Bushnell, FL.

Del Amitri to Stevie Wonder 😳
