Lex and Terry

Prior to the show, Jaymes gained popularity as an actor on Santa Barbara and also as a stand-up comedian, including on the Fox network on the critically acclaimed The Sunday Comics.

He said his coolest moment was as co-producer alongside soon to be world renown producer Brenden O'Brien at The Black Crowes Live at the Greek Theatre in the summer of 1992.

Eventually, Lex and Terry had the number one morning show in Jacksonville, with a mix of frank relationship talk, sports (including Sam Kouvaris of WJXT), and sometimes music from such artists as AC/DC and Danzig.

WFYV general manager Mark Schwartz said, "Unlike a lot of other morning shows that rely on tired bits and material that's stolen from other radio stations, these guys are 100 percent unique.

Celebrity guests included Howie Long, Alan Thicke, Denis Leary, David Lee Roth, Norah Jones, and Bill O'Reilly, as well as porn actress and call-in host Juli Ashton.

The "Telecom Bill" was a huge factor of what happened next for Lex and Terry as broadcasting companies were able to buy many more properties than they were before, and the duo got caught up in a whirlwind of acquisitions that eventually swallowed up their host station KTXQ.

Despite the show's positive impact on its ratings, KTXQ changed formats as the result of the station's sale and dropped Lex and Terry on September 1, 1998.

Despite being the number one morning show for years in the market the hosts called "Freakville", Lex and Terry was off WFYV and not heard in Jacksonville until February 2006,[4][5] returning on Planet Radio 107.3.

"[8] Welpton called the feature, a part of the show for two years at the time, a "good educational tool to demonstrate the effects of alcohol, and why drinking responsibly is important.

[9] Although Lex and Terry held the number one position among men 18-34 for eight straight Arbitron ratings periods,[10] WRUF changed to country music in October 2010, dropping the show.

After Bain Capital acquired Clear Channel and the station became part of IHeartRadio, Lex and Terry and numerous other shows, in budgeting moves by the company, went without renewed contracts, and eventually, Staley and Jaymes went in business by themselves.

Jason Carr of WZZR in West Palm Beach became executive producer in 2008, eventually replacing Welpton as director of network operations in September 2010.

Ian Gleason, a show regular with the Pub Quiz, was brought in from New York City in January 2012 to serve as the news director following the departure of Welpton and Tyler "Taint" Baker the previous year.

In 2016, longtime phone screener and on-air personality Sarah Morgan left the show to pursue a career in the cruise ship industry and was replaced by Krystina Byford, a Texas native who did promotions for The Ticket in Dallas.
