Atlanta Radio: Jeff And Jen Debut On Star 94.1

WSTR Star 94.1 FM introduced its long-awaited new morning show Thursday morning featuring two familiar faces: Jeff Dauler and Jenn Hobby.

“We feel the love,” said Hobby this morning during the first live break. “We feel the support from friends and family… Our families decorated the studio and sent flowers and notes. All your comments, your well wishes have been well received. We’re going to do our best to make you happy.”

The Jeff and Jenn Show will normally air from 5:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. daily but started today at 7 a.m. The Drex, Cassiday and Tingle morning show, which has been on Star since early last year, is now on in the afternoons. They volunteered to start at 5:30 a.m. instead of 6 a.m. because so many people are up at that time (and it was what the Bert Show used to do as well.)

“Everything here is new,” Hobby said. “The name of the radio station is new. The studios are new. The computer system is brand new. The web site is new. Everything is new!”

Rodney Ho, media writer with the Atlanta Constitution recored a Periscope video while in studio at 9:40 a.m. Thursday morning. It includes a short interview with market manager Mike Fowler and Dauler and Hobby gabbing with mid-day host Heather Branch and program director Tony Lorino.


During their first live opener, they took several calls from fans. They emphasized the fact that the callers were from cities in metro Atlanta, something they couldn’t do on the Bert Show when it went into syndication in 2010.

They then played a special song for Dauler: “Best Day of My Life” by American Authors. He had listened to it every day during his break. Then coincidentally, the bosses flew the show to New York to meet with advertisers and had that band play that very song during a cocktail hour.
