On lessons learned behind the mic on First Coast Connect, Melissa Ross had this to say:“What unites us is so much greater than what divides us.” Thank you, Melissa, for 14 amazing years of conversations that matter on WJCT Public Media. I’m so proud to call you a mentor, collaborator & friend. ❤️

🎙️ Al Letson is back on the air at WJCT Public Media! He will be the interim host of First Coast Connect (First Coast Connect) starting next week. Join him and join us.

Congratulations to Donna Deegan - The first female and 45th Mayor of the City of Jacksonville. “Today is a new day for our great City and it’s a beautiful day!”

Weeping may endure — and in #Jacksonville it surely has this week — but joy will come. Jacksonville Today (Jacksonville Today) has spent the last several months chronicling #BlackJoy through images. It's time to share that joy with others. jaxtoday.org/2023/08/31/pho…

In recognition of #904Day, I encourage all of my Northeast Florida friends to join me in supporting local businesses today — as well as donating to one (or more!) groups working to address inequity, fight racism, and bring unity to our community.

It is my honor and privilege to recognize the amazing work being done by Feeding NEFL and their volunteers. Thank you for your dedication to our most vulnerable citizens.

Two words I wasn’t sure I’d ever be able to say, and one I never dreamed of: We’re expecting… twins! Since this will likely be the biggest announcement of our lives, please enjoy this lighthearted take on a press release from me and Jack DeYoung with more details.

This gem of a reporter texted me live updates from my old stomping grounds as MHS earned their ticket to the Final Four. Thanks for making this former Bronco’s night, Will Brown! 🏐

Framing this one for the nursery: the twins’ first sighting of a Jaguar in the wild! Trevor Lawrence was incredibly kind and gracious in granting this mom-to-be’s request for a photo with Jack DeYoung and our future Jacksonville Jaguars fans.

Welcome to the world, Jane Elizabeth and Colin Ross. 🩷🩵 Jack DeYoung and I are so happy you’re here. Their arrival recalibrated our understanding of how much love & joy the human heart can hold. We’re all home, healthy & learning a new rhythm of life as a family of four.

The obligatory world tour meme attempt.

An early #904Day gift for Jack DeYoung (and one of my all-time greatest thrift finds): a 1993 Jacksonville Jaguars shirt with the original tag still on #dtwd #iwatj

A true Jax legend ❤️
