Arthur Crofton
Weekdays, 5:30AM - 10AM |
 Arthur Crofton has been on the air in Jacksonville for 30 years,since February 8th 1978! Over the years, Arthur has developed a loyal following, especially on Lite 96.1 WEJZ, where he has broadcast in the morning since August 23rd 1990. Arthur, co-host Yvonne Velazquez, and long-time newsman Jim Byard, make up THE MORNING SHOW on Lite 96.1 WEJZ!
Arthur's interest in radio began as a child growing up in his native England, listening to the BBC, but it was music radio stations on ships offshore, known as "pirate" stations, that led him to want a career "on the air"! In 1970, Arthur came to the US, which was his mother's homeland, and worked for a short while for CBS News, as a mail clerk! Yes, Arthur used to deliver Walter Cronkite his daily mail! Arthur then came south to attend his mother's alma mater, the University of Alabama!!! That's right, he's a Crimson tide fan. After undergraduate and graduate studies in Communications, Arthur began a radio career that brought him ultimately to Lite 96.1.
Arthur is married to the former Laurie Mitchell, who is a Jacksonville native and 6th generation Floridian!! Yes there are a few here!! You may have heard her on the air too!! Laurie and Arthur live with two dogs, Foxy and Wolfie, and four cats, Moby, Minnie, Ty and Syd. Arthur also has three adult children. Older daughter Teresa lives in Bristol, England, as does son Craig. Younger daughter Lindsay, however, is here in Jacksonville!
Tune in to "The Morning Show" from 5:30 to 10 weekdays, (and catch the the Saturday Morning Replay from 6 to 9am each Saturday morning!). |
