Wake Up Wayne

 


Jim Hinnant, Host

Thanks for checking out the web pages. My name is Jim Hinnant, and I've been the host of Wake Up Wayne since June, 2005. I hold a BS degree in Broadcast Engineering with a minor in Computer Science... a geek, in other words, but I lost my pocket protector many years ago. If you don't understand that last part, call me, and I'll explain.

While in college, I was the Saturday morning "DJ" for our campus radio station. Back then, we actually used LP and 45's to play music...and we had a "panic cart" we could throw in if we got caught in a tight situation. Funny, but everyone in the Radio/TV Department knew all the songs on the "panic cart", so we'd know when someone else was in trouble, and we'd get a good laugh.

My favorite aspect of broadcasting was television, and I was on the "Show My People" syndicated television program crew for 3 years. This is the first time since college that I have had a regular broadcast program, and I'm loving every bit of it. I also direct some of the races at Southern National, High School football games, and Crime Stoppers Telethons, so stop by the video van and say hello if you're at one of these events.

Aaron's is a great sponsor, and I really do encourage everyone to go by and check out their store. I was impressed when I first walked in the door with what they have, and I go by and walk through the store just to check out the new items.

I am married and have two kids, both in college. My wife works at Sam's as a product demonstrator.

I own HB Systems, Inc., a software development firm, and am part-owner and manager of Xpress Communications, LLC, and internet service provider here in Goldsboro.

If you have any suggestions or comments, feel free to drop me a note. I love hearing from everyone.
