WJR’s award winning news department brings you “The Big Story.” Hosted by WJR’s Lloyd Jackson Tuesdays – Fridays from 7-8 p.m., this hour long segment brings you the top news stories of the day, important new interviews, and highlights from Paul W., Frank, and Mitch on WJR.
Lloyd Jackson describes himself as “just a regular guy“, but most people would probably disagree. This ambitious, broadcast journalist attained his personal goal of employment with WJR News long before he expected it to happen. Lloyd has covered Nelson Mandela‘s visit to Detroit, ridden with the police department on raids and even been shot at by a barricaded gunman! Jackson, who began his career at WJR in 1993 as the city/county beat reporter and is now assistant news director, says he loves the fact that radio is “fast and now“, but dislikes the objectivity that the job requires. “I usually have an opinion about stories, but being a journalist, I have to remain neutral.” Lucky for Lloyd, he can toss his modesty and neutrality aside when talking about his greatest love: his children Lloyd Jr., Justin and Marie. Lloyd has won numerous awards while at WJR, including honors from the Michigan Association of Broadcasters, Associated Press and the Society of Professional Journalists. He is also the host of many special interest shows on WJR, such as “Ask the Mayor“, “Ask the Governor” and “Ask the Chief“. Jackson adds, “It’s a great honor to work with the professionals in the WJR newsroom that make my job an interesting and fulfilling endeavor”.

“The Big Story” Special Edition with Dr. Richard Klein of The Michigan Head & Neck Institute For many people, sleep apnea can be a serious sleep disorder. Those who have sleep apnea stop breathing for 10 to 30 seconds at a time while they are sleeping. These short stops in breathing can happen up to 400 times every night. If you have sleep apnea, the periods of not breathing may interrupt the duration of deep sleep. If you are waking up all night long, you aren’t getting enough rest from your sleep and if you sleep for eight hours without reaching REM deep sleep, the physical and emotional consequences can be devestating. |
