WJZD celebrates 30 years

WJZD celebrates 30 years of broadcasting on the Mississippi Coast.

The radio station celebrated the milestone with a ribbon cutting ceremony along with the Mississippi Gulf Coast Chamber of Commerce.

After serving the Gulf Coast for over 30 years, Station CEO Rip Daniels had this to say. “You know it really doesn’t seem like 30 years because it is a way of life for me, it’s not even work. It is what I’ve been doing in broadcasting for over 40 years. I’m a lifelong citizen here, grew up here. It’s family. It’s doing what I can do on the Mississippi Gulf Coast to take care of my family. And that’s how most of my staff take this, we are obligated to take care of family and that’s what we’ve been doing for 30 years.”

The staff over at WJZD are always a constant at big community events year in and year out.
