Jim Sherwood
President and Lead Developer

Jim’s journey in radio is as diverse as it is fascinating. Beginning in 1988 at WLSM in Louisville, MS, he quickly became a jack-of-all-trades in the radio industry. Jim’s radio adventure has taken him across several states, from hosting shows to managing programming, promotions, and digital content departments. His resume boasts names like iHeartMedia, CBS Radio, Cumulus Broadcasting, and a sprinkle of local stations. He even wowed audiences from an aircraft carrier for four years while in the Navy. His love for radio history, music, gadgets, and web wizardry knows no bounds.

After a 14-year stint at iHeartMedia in 2013, Jim pivoted to focus on Mediagin Creative, his freelance creative agency. There, he crafted WordPress websites and continued to produce radio and television commercials. A turning point came when he addressed a panel of small-market station owners at a Mississippi Association of Broadcasters conference, highlighting the urgent need for superior websites. It was there that Skyrocket Radio was born – a brainchild conceived to level the playing field for smaller markets in the digital advertising arena.

Now, Jim is the driving force behind Skyrocket Radio, wearing multiple hats as the chief creative, brand strategist, lead developer, and project manager. He’s not just building websites; he’s crafting digital experiences that resonate with both stations and listeners. His commitment extends beyond development as he hosts the weekly podcast “Better Radio Websites,” which educates stations on best practices for online success. Through Skyrocket Radio, Jim continues to revolutionize the digital landscape for radio stations, helping them soar to new heights in visitor engagement and revenue generation.
