Longtime WJIE/Louisville General Manager Jim Fraser announces he has exited his position at the station. Jim says, “I knew this day was coming for a little over a year now and I feel blessed to have just finished 15 years at 88.5 WJIE. I’m super excited that I will be able to spend more time with family and on other opportunities that are of interest to me. I was the longest term GM just finishing a record year and another record fundraiser. I am thankful to have such a great staff, volunteers and listeners and because of you we were able to put together a streak of 23 on-air fundraisers with each beating the prior spring and fall fundraiser. I will always be grateful for this season in my life that gave me the opportunity to reach so many people through this ministry.
