Your Hometown Morning Show Weekdays: 5:30AM-10AM   Hey, thanks for checking out our page… we are SO happy to be here at 99.9 Gator Country! You can read a little bit more about us below, but feel free to email us with any other questions that you may have. We can’t wait to hear from you!

 

Eden Kendall came back to Jacksonville from Atlanta, Ashley King came straight from UCF to The Zoo, and I successfully brow-beat Eden into getting me hired at WAPE. She always has been the one who gets stuff done!

Hoyle, Eden, Frankie, Ashley and I rolled along until Frankie left for D.C. and Amadeus came on board. Again, years rolled past like a river. Hoyle left in 2001, and Ashley became a stay at home mom following in Hoyle’s footsteps. As all good things do come to an end, we resigned from our jobs at WAPE in December, 2006 with our futures uncertain, as well as our employment situation.

The chance to work at Gator Country came up and we jumped at the opportunity! In no time, we were on our way to Nashville before our first day on the air! We met more country artists in 4 days than we had in the previous 12 years in Top 40! We are eternally indebted to Tony Renda and his family, owners of Renda Broadcasting, and to our General Manager Gary Spurgeon for believing in us enough to take a chance on three people who have made Jacksonville their home and wanted to keep it that way.

I have been blessed to have Eden and Amadeus not only as co-workers, but more importantly my closest friends. In 13 years together we have shared every joy, sorrow, tragedy and hardship with each other the way family does. From weddings and divorces, to tiny lives beginning and bigger ones tragically cut short, we have stuck it out. Through it all I can honestly say I’ve never had dearer, closer friends than those two.

As our time here at Gator Country grows, I want to thank every one of you, our listeners … many followed us over from WAPE, and many of you who have been Gator Country fans have kindly embraced us as new members of the family. I humbly thank you, and hope we can eventually meet each and every one of you … and when the day comes that we cast off this mortal coil, we may call each other ‘friend’.

 

Over the past twelve years, Jacksonville radio listeners have shared it all with Eden...engagement, marriage, the birth of two children, and her countless "Eden Moments". What's an Eden Moment? Backing her car into her husband's truck...... flooding an entire radio station.... or hosting an event with her shirt on inside out. This is great news for Gator Country listeners; because, if Eden doesn't confess these highly entertaining moments herself, her husband or an observant citizen always calls to turn her in!

Eden is a University of Florida graduate. She resides at the beach with her husband Mr. Kendall, her two children Noah and Chloe, and her dogs Daisy and Sophie. You can catch Eden on Saturday mornings on NBC-12 as she reports live for Good Morning Jacksonville Saturday.
