Erie Co. man finds vintage JET Radio record in Texas
An Erie County man was visiting family in Texas, only to discover a blast from the past from back home.
Ed Rickrode was browsing an antique shop in Kerrville, Texas, when he stumbled upon an old record with a WJET label.
City of Erie releases summer paving plans
At first, he thought there must be a JET Radio in Texas, but then he read the words: '30 years of Erie Gold.'
He purchased the record featuring personalities and songs from the 50s through the 80s for just $9.
City of Erie pleased with first round of code sweeps
'And if you look on the back of the record, they have been produced by Jim Cook and they have Myron Jones, Frank Martin, and there's other ones I recognize the names on them. But when I first got it, I'm thinking Erie Gold, holy smokes that's from Erie, PA,' Rickrode said.
Rickrode generously donated the record to us here at JET24, where we'll proudly display it.

The SeaWolves were one of 47 teams that submitted for the rebranding process. John Oliver, HBO's late-night host, to give Erie SeaWolves a complete rebrand 'I honestly thought I would find out in an email first, but basically finding out via television was pretty surprising,' said Greg Coleman, President of Erie SeaWolves Baseball. Coleman said he was surprised to learn about the team's selection for rebranding through John Oliver's television announcement. However, the rebranding comes with a catch: The SeaWolves will have no input in the process, as it will be handled entirely by the show's creative team. Coleman noted that the current team name and mascot are not particularly creative, suggesting room for improvement. Christy Buchar, Director of Merchandise for the Erie SeaWolves, expressed enthusiasm about the potential for new merchandise that will coordinate with the new branding. She hopes to sell both current and new merchandise to fans.
