5/11: Jennifer Reed on 96rock

Jennifer Reed has only been on a week at 96rock as the new afternoon jock but hasn’t been given much of a chance to say much. Anybody who has heard her—what are your early impressions?

I’ve listened to her a little and she sounds really good. She ought to be a hit with 96 Rock’s male dominated audience (what, with her hot looks and everything). I think it’s a good hire. Now if one of the rock radio stations in Atlanta would come to their senses and put Kaedy Kiely (an Atlanta rock radio legend) back on the air I would really be happy!

She would only have two options. Dave FM or The River. The River doesn’t seem like it will be personality driven. Dave FM was her last home and while they don’t want to re-create Z93 with Mara still there they have to do something to attract listeners. Kaedy is an immediate upgrade over Eric. Eric is just plain boring. The morning show needs to be fixed up also. Here is an off-the-wall thought. Jeff Hullinger is now gone from Tampa TV. Team him up with Kaedy for a morning show. They had a good chemistry going when Jeff did his daily call-in on Kaedy show in the 96rock days. Plus Jeff has a face for radio.

I’ve checked out Jennifer’s website, and it looked like she did a bunch of sexual-innuendo heavy bits back at her old station. I agree with Rockin’ Jim that she should be a hit because of her looks. However, so far, she’s been uninteresting. I’ve tried a couple times to listen, and I rapidly switch back to my iPod.

I wasn’t crazy about the voice of the guy she replaced - he sounded like he fell off the Blue Collar Comedy Tour bus - but he played good music. Jennifer “sounds” like she is a hot girl who is also a bit vulnerable, approachable. Kind of that Jenny McCarthy thing. As a guy, I like her voice. I will wait to pass judgment on the tunes she spins.

She sounds as hot as she looks…and she doesn’t talk too much, as of yet. She may help 96 gain back some afternoon listeners from The River, especially if 97.1 stays too heavy on the Eagles/Fleetwood/Elton John mix.

I’ve been listening to her lately (sorry Kimmer). I like her. Hopefully after 96 Rock loses the braves she can be on for the full 4 hours.

Jennifer has a very sexy voice but she needs to be on more. Cut back on the boring playlist and let Jennifer have more air time 96 Rock mgmt!!!
