Jimmy Lane

His radio career started in 1980 and he has been fired from jobs he had in Wisconsin, Texas, Louisiana, Ohio and Indiana. It wasn’t until he had been working at WCTY for 15 years that he felt secure in his job enough to start unpacking his boxes. Next year in September Jimmy will be celebrating his 20th year doing mornings for WCTY. For the last 15 years his partner has been Shelly Martinez and they have the most amazing relationship, with on air and off air chemistry. He and Franco in the Morning are currently planning some shenanigans.

In 2003 he adopted a beautiful 11 year old girl named Amanda from the Department of Children and Family. She has become an amazing woman with a college degree in animal science. She currently works with special needs children.

He loves camping with his beautiful wife Yevette at Campers World where they fish, kayak, hike, drink and play trivia with the Sims family. He also teaches comedy, pole dancing and plus size modeling. He used to play poker, ride bikes and go golfing with Marty Hausberger.

Shelly Martinez

I started as an oldest intern for WCTY Jimmy and Karen in the morning. As their intern, I took on the role of Danger girl, who took on scary tasks under Jimmy’s direction. My first assignment was to collect socks from working men at Home Depot on National Sockless Day, give an award to the best school bus driver who almost had me arrested, walking on hot coals, and drinking polluted water at drinking fountain at a local high school. Sensing my audacity, Hall Communications hired me a fill-in receptionist and DJ, broadcasting live at baseball remotes at Dodd stadium for KOOL101. Soon, I was doing remotes, parades, and charity events, and Saturday afternoons on WCTY and tracking overnights on KOOL101. 2004: Stu Bryer offered me an On Air shift on WICH AM 1310 from 2-4PM which was short lived but gave me the on air experience and confidence that I truly needed. When Karen Kowalski left in November 2005, I was offered the Co-Host Morning show with Jimmy Lehn. Jimmy and I have been nominated twice for an ACM, and one CMA small market radio personalities awards. We have also been the Reader’s Choice Best radio personalities for five years in a row.
