The voice is warm, soulful and sweet! Patty Jackson, born in November, 1963 and raised in South Philadelphia, is a thirty-six year radio veteran. Patty’s radio career has taken her from WSSJ in Camden, New Jersey, to the country station WXTU, then to Philadelphia’s Hip Hop station WUSL, and the classic R&B format known as WDAS-FM.

After spending one year co-hosting mornings at WIOQ, Patty returned to her home at WDAS. Patty’s mid-day program, her Cafe 105, and 4-1-1 features are all considered mandatory to Philadelphia’s adult radio listeners! She can also be heard across the country via the iHeartRadio app.

Patty is currently the midday host at 'DAS-FM working 10 am to 3 pm, Monday through Friday. On Sunday mornings, you can hear Patty’s “Rewind” magazine show 8am – 12pm, covering everything from life to politics and entertainment, as well as celebrity interviews from the past week. In addition, she hosts “The Wide Wonderful World of Butter” oldies program every Sunday night from 7 pm to 12 midnight.

Her warmth and conversational style is a standout in Philadelphia radio. Patty’s entertainment reporting has earned her the title of entertainment writer for the Philadelphia Tribune. Patty Jackson is very involved in community events, church activities and civic endeavors.

She donates her time and talent to host many community events and fundraisers including the American Diabetes Association and the United Negro College Fund. Patty has also chosen to give back by giving the youth a platform during her weekly WDAS-FM podcast Patty and the Millennials.

With all that she is dedicated to, the “foodie” in Patty has found time to host MyNewPhilly’s dessert series, Phillycious. The video episodes can be found on the Internet.

Whether she’s chatting it up with the stars or talking about the spicy seafood salad that the WDAS staff begs her to make, Patty Jackson’s voice is undeniably the female adult voice of the Philadelphia market!
