Jerry Thomas 55KRC Morning Commentary: Recent Episodes

Jerry Thomas, is thought to have the longest tenure at one station of any area radio personality on the air.

The 1957 Elder High School graduate has done just about everything at the station since he was hired May 1, 1962, from a Louisville station to be the overnight DJ. He was so popular that Thomas replaced legendary morning host Stan Matlock 35 years ago.

Thomas' morning show was No. 1 well into the late 1980s on 5,000-watt WKRC-AM, one-tenth the power of WLW-AM.

In four decades at WKRC-AM, he has been a DJ, program director, salesman and a conservative talk host. In the early days, he'd do character voices.

Jerry now does commetary on 55KRC every Monday morning with his son Brian Thomas on 55KRC The Talk Station
