On, Saturday September 1, 2007, Shali launched his own weekly kids &
teens talk & entertainment show – Jonzun Radio Kids. Jonzun Radio Kids airs on WPUL 1590AM (Daytona Beach, FL) every Saturday, from 12:30pm -1pm (EST), and
streams worldwide.
Shali feels blessed to have this opportunity to have a worldwide voice at radio, and sincerely
thanks everyone responsible - - first and foremost, God, for it is through Him that all things are possible, Mr.
Phinesse Demps, Programming Director for WPUL 1590AM, the Cherry Family owners of WPUL and The Daytona Times, Mr. Andreas
Butler, News Journalist for The Daytona Times, and everyone in his family.
Why talk radio? Shali’s
hope for his show is to get kids & teens to
start listening regularly to talk radio. Shali believes, “Talk radio is a great way to hear what’s going on in
our community and the world. But more importantly, talk radio is a chance for kids to be heard by other kids, adults, and
seniors on the radio." “If the world
is going to be a better place, our generation has to take responsibility too, and become involved,” continued Shali.
Shali
is aware that being born into a famous musical family has given him many opportunities that others don’t
have, and that he must use these gifts wisely. He doesn't want the show to be all about him, but about
providing a quality program, raising awareness, and bringing great entertainment to his listeners.
First
and foremost, Jonzun Radio Kids will, ”Always bring listeners a whole lot of fun,” said Shali. Jonzun Radio Kids is a very special Talk &
Entertainment Show, because it's a place where kids and teens can voice their opinions, talk about issues &
concerns that we face, hear about the latest in music, giveaways, events, movies, games, books, fun places to visit, and hear
interviews with lots of interesting people.
Shali invites kids and
teens around the globe to become involved in his show and website. If you have something that's on your mind, a special
talent, video footage from a recent trip you took or place you visited, news story, a band that the world needs to hear, an
opinion on a recent movie or book, or anything else that you'd like to share with our listeners, we'd love to hear
from you.
