Jerry Peterson’s booming voice has echoed weather information across major radio and television markets all over the country since 1956. He is an American Meteorological Society certified meteorologist and provides 24-hour weather information for WRHI and its sister station, WRHM FM 107. Peterson plays a crucial part on The Morning Show, honored in 2005 by the South Carolina Broadcaster's Association as the "Radio Program of the Year."

Jerry is quite a handyman. He completely renovated an historic downtown home here in Rock Hill with his wife, Melba and son, Scott, which they now operate as the city’s leading bed and breakfast. He originally became interested in broadcasting through Junior Achievement in junior high school and throughout his career has probably talked to over a million elementary school students about weather and broadcasting.

Jerry is a firm believer that radio has three enduring missions: Educate, entertain and inform. Radio is something that Jerry can’t seem to get enough of in spite of his semi-retirement several years ago.

"It’s in your blood. It’s something that lives with you forever," said Jerry. "Every time you turn on a radio, it draws you back in."
