PERSONALITIES:
GUY GORDON
HOST
A seasoned broadcast journalist, Guy Gordon is celebrating more than 40 years as a reporter, anchor, and talk show host. He was recognized with two Emmy Awards for Best Anchor and six Emmy Awards for Best Writing, Reporting, and Documentary.
His work has also garnered numerous Michigan Association of Broadcasters awards for breaking news and investigative reporting.
Previously, Gordon was news anchor for WDIV Local 4 News in Detroit for nine years, following 13 years as anchor of Channel 7 Action News in Detroit.
He is an active community servant, raising more than $1.5 million for Oakland Family Services through his annual charity golf outing, the “Guy Gordon Classic for Kids.” In 2019, Guy became the host of the ITC Golf Classic for the March of Dimes. This event at Oak Pointe Country Club in Brighton raises nearly $200,000 per year.
LLOYD JACKSON
CONTRIBUTOR
Lloyd Jackson describes himself as “just a regular guy,” but most people would probably disagree. Jackson, who began his career at 760 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.”
Lloyd has won numerous awards while at 760 WJR, including honors from the Michigan Association of Broadcasters, Associated Press, and the Society of Professional Journalists. He has also been the host of many special-interest shows on 760 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.”
NICK RODDY
EXECUTIVE PRODUCER
Nick Roddy is the executive producer of “The Guy Gordon Show,” heard weekdays at 760 WJR from 3 to 5 p.m. Nick previously served as the executive producer and network coordinator of the Detroit Lions Radio Network, and oversaw all Detroit Lions programming on 760 WJR.
Nick was an intern with “The Paul W. Smith Show” in 2010, graduated from Michigan State University with degrees in international relations and journalism in 2012, and began his radio career at 1130 AM WDFN The Fan following graduation.
Nick is also a high school basketball coach, coaching the freshman team at Bloomfield Hills High School.
MIKE PARSONS
TECHNICAL DIRECTOR
Mike Parsons began his radio career at WXOU, Oakland University’s campus radio station, in the summer of 2005. He ran out of material 10 minutes into his first hour long talk show. Things have slightly improved since then …
Mike went on to intern for the “Jim Harper Magic Morning Show” in the winter of 2007 before being hired at 760 WJR in November of that same year. Over the years, Mike has done traffic for select cities in Ohio, engineered live broadcasts, and helped launch syndicated weekend programming before becoming the full-time board operator for “The Guy Gordon Show” in early 2017.
Today, Mike works as technical director on “JR Mornings with Guy Gordon,” while also helming his own show, “First Thing with Mike Parsons,” which airs weekdays from 5 to 6 a.m. on 760 WJR.
