After nearly 40 years as a driving force in radio, Cox Media Group Miami Market Manager Jerry Rushin (pictured) has officially announced that he plans to enter retirement in July, 2012. Rushin has spent his entire 40 year career in the Miami market. He's getting ready to turn 65 and wants to spend a little more time enjoying life. In 1973 "Super Jerry J" began his career on the air part-time at WEDR-FM. That station is still part of the management responsibilities that Rushin will relinquish in July. last night we caught up with Rushin and asked him about his career, how he motivates his managers and staff, the importance of community involvement and working for Cox.
