Ron
Gaddy
Born and raised in Marion, NC, it had always been
the dream of Ron Gaddy to be either a radio announcer or a TV anchorman. My,
My... doesn't he have the face for radio. Bro. Ron's dream came true when in
1986 he was hired for his very first professional radio job. WRAQ was the
station and at the time, he began working part time. Over the years, Bro. Ron
has worked for several radio stations and has even had experience in Christian
TV operating cameras, setting up screens, etc.
In 1996, Ron
Gaddy joined the broadcast team of WKJV AM 1380, where he was hired as the
evening announcer. A few years later, seeing as Bro. Ron gets up early enough to
wake the the chickens, he became the morning announcer at WKJV and since then he
has enjoyed radio like never before. As a matter of fact, Bro. Ron eats, sleeps,
and dreams radio! (What time he doesn't have a box of doughnuts beside the
microphone, of course.)
"The Sunrise
Show" comes alive with Ron Gaddy each weekday morning at 6:00 am. If it's not
enough to have "Oscar the Rooster" or "Sammy the Seal" standing by his side, a
pig by the name of "Wilbur" roots its way through the program. Bro. Ron was
asked one day, "What is your main goal in radio?" He replied, "I want to get
people laughing so hard in the morning that they spill their coffee on
themselves while going out the door on their way to work."
Ron's
"Sunrise
Show" program features the best in Gospel music and programming from 6:00 -
11:30 am. On any day you just might happen to walk into the studios of WKJV, take a
few steps into the control room and find Ron playing the classic song "I Wanna
Know" by Hovie Lister and The Statesmen Quartet while he has his mouth full with
a doughnut and pork skins accompanied by a cup of coffee...
What a combination, Ron and radio!!!
