Best Radio Broadcaster: Brian Jordan, 99.9 Gator Country 

A proud Jacksonvillian since birth, Brian Jordan started his radio career with 95.1 WAPE before moving to 99.9 Gator Country becoming the station’s midday host. In addition to playing the hottest songs in country and giving away tickets to see the top country artists coming to town, he brings a fresh perspective to a cluttered radio landscape. He also created and co-hosts a podcast called “On the Pitch” which focuses on the world of soccer without all the “fluff,” as he likes to say. Jordan is not afraid to talk about hot takes and offer his own opinions. He was also recently promoted to assistant program director for WEJZ/WGNE for his hard work and dedication to the company. –Carmen Macri
