More about :
Jessie Brandon Birthday 6th July. From Washington DC.
Graduated from the University of Maryland with a degree in Radio TV & Film.
She worked for a number of rock stations, including three years at KISW, Seattle,
before heading for Europe and a job on Laser-558,
being first heard on day one of the station, 24th May 1984.
She was the station’s Music Director, presented the early evening show
and rapidly became one of their on-air stars.
Her last show for Laser was on 26th November 1984,
leaving to take up a position with London’s Capital Radio.
This was due to begin after Christmas but work permit problems
delayed the start until February 1985. Jessie presented weekend shows for Capital but,
when the work permit expired, the Department of Employment refused
to renew it and she left to join Radio Nova in Dublin.
In the spring of 1986 she returned to America and joined WBMW-FM in Washington DC,
later moving to WTRG-FM in Raleigh, North Carolina.
In December 1986 Jessie headed back to Europe and Radio Luxembourg.
In 1988 it was back to the States and she was heard on a number of stations
in the Washington DC area and, between 1998 and 2003,
worked for the Feature Story international news agency.
Jessie then took some time off from radio to acquire a degree in horticulture.
She then combined both interests, writing: “I keep my hand (vocal cords?)
in radio with a ‘utility’ position, as they call it, at the Portland Radio Group.
The building pumps out seven stations 24 hours a day.
I have regular shifts on three of them.
And I use my latest degree in horticulture working at Skillins Solar Greenhouses
just north of my present home in Portland, Maine.
It’s a seasonal position (off November-February) but it’s my passion these days
and I think I’m bringing some fresh skills to an old family-run company.”
Since writing, Jessie has returned to full-time radio work
on Adult Album Alternative station WCLZ .
