Hosted By jackie

Hey Guys I’m Jackie, a recent college graduate from Ferris State University, and a full time on air personality for 97.9 WGRD, you can listen to me every night 7pm-Midnight!

I was born in Lansing, but grew up down in Portage. I love Grand Rapids, and that includes going to check out all the local music GR has to offer, sing karaoke every chance I get, and shop at all the local thrift stores and malls (I KNOW HOW TO BLOW MONEY BABY!)

Some important things you should know about me: I eat very badly, that includes pizza, burgers, french fries and anything else that I probably shouldn’t eat… BUT I make up for it by being an extremely avid runner, I ran cross country and track for Ferris State for 4 years plus a red-shirt year.  I read more than anyone I know… and of coarse that includes Harry Potter and other fantasy style novels. You can catch me and my girls dressed up at every dorky movie premier you can think of!

I love working for WGRD and I love all my co-workers and alternachick sisters.

Schedule

M-F 7:00 pm - 12:00 am
Sa 10:00 am - 3:00 pm

Check them out, and if your in a local band and want to be featured then answer the same questions and email them along with a video to Jackie@wgrd.com, I don't just feature anyone, so don't suck and you'll get the Jackie stamp of approval ;)

Cabaret Update!

Jackie Photo By jackie 2 weeks ago

We had our first audience the other day and while it was exhilarating dancing around in my skivvy's I had my share of hiccups, but all in all it was an outstanding performance by all! I wanted to share some backstage action here, I like to goof around so my girl Lynnae and I (definitely not paying attention to what was going on) decided to dance around backstage with shorts on my head

Grand Rapids Rocks- We Want You!

Jackie Photo By jackie 2 weeks ago

I get messages from bands on a daily basis and if I could play each and every one of your local awesome kick ass songs I promise I would, but as most of you know it doesn't really work that way. So I was thinking how the hell can I get some of these people who are right in our community rocking the stage at all our local venues some more publicity? Well here it is! I want to feature your band on our webpage! If you have the time and want some WGRD
