JR Jaus

After several months as the fill-in host, JR JAUS has officially landed the job as host of UNITED STATIONS RADIO NETWORKS (USRN’s) Country countdown show, “THE 20TWENTY COUNTRY COUNTDOWN,” effective this week. JAUS is also the morning host at COX MEDIA GROUP Country KCYY (Y100)/SAN ANTONIO. 

The three-hour weekend show, which debuted in MARCH 2015, presents one 20-song countdown of what’s trending in the digital space for Country music, followed by a 20-song countdown representing the week’s top song in terms of Country radio airplay. The content also includes artist interviews, news stories, and recaps of TWITTER feeds from prominent artists.

USRN’S EVP/Programming ANDY DENMARK said, “We love having hosts who can do it all: communicate well, speak to music fans, and engage the audience via social media. JR does all that and more. We’re grateful to COX MEDIA GROUP’S JEFF GARRISON for introducing us to JR and for his support of our exciting production.”

Added JAUS, “So happy to be a part of this new countdown that I truly believe reflects the voice of Country music fans. To host a project like this and be able to make it my own is really exciting for me. Thanks to ANDY and the entire UNITED STATIONS team for this opportunity." Y100 will air the program on SUNDAYS from 7-10a.
