99 Jamz (WEDR, 99.1-FM)
www.wedr.com

From its headquarters just off Sheridan Street and I-95 in Hollywood, WEDR pumps out the jams that keep South Florida booties shaking. And it's not just partying tunes by everyone from Destiny's Child to Ludacris but the on-air personalities who deliver the sounds right to your (r)ear that make 99 Jamz the sweetest spot on the dial. Spend your morning drive time with the crew from The Big Lip Bandit Morning Show, featuring Benji Brown, Supa Cindy (known as Skirt With Da Dirt because of her celebrity-gossip segments) and the Bandit himself. Weekdays continue with Shelby Rushin and Lorenzo "Ice Tea" Thomas, bringing the midday and Afternoon Jumpoff shows respectively, before DJ Khaled and K. Foxx spin established and up-and-coming artists on the high-energy TakeOver. Late nights belong to the very sexy Elisa Lisa, and in addition to a talented weekend crew of vets and newcomers, the station makes use of the services of mixers including DJ Suicide, DJ Entice and King Waggy Tee, among others. Community interaction remains strong at general manager Jerry Rushin's station, as callers keep the phones jangling with news and events they want to share on the air. In an increasingly impersonal broadcast landscape, 99 Jamz provides an oasis of personality with plenty of local flavor.
