A native Californian, Jordyn Tyson is best known to New York as the host and producer of “Caught in the Act” - originally titled “Unsung Heroes” - an innovative bi-weekly radio program which ran every other Friday night for 8 years on listener-sponsored WBAI-99.5FM/NYC ending in 1992. The show pioneered efforts to provide radio exposure for unsigned bands and rising new acts, helping to fortify the local music scene in NYC. Featuring interviews and live in-studio performances by local talent and music legends alike, it also offered discussions with industry professionals ranging from artist managers and club owners to top record label A&R men including the renowned Clive Davis, to help new talent discover the inner workings of the art of the “deal.”
Tyson ended each show with an animal right's segment, which promoted anti-vivisection, spay & neutering, vegetarianism and encouraged people to adopt strays – but with commitemnt, knowledge and forethought. Jordyn combined intriguing interviews, exceptional music and celebrated guests - weaving themes and thoughts together - with insight and humor.
Jordyn then went to the other end of the spectrum and produced advertising campaigns for the “Special Events Division” at WINS-1010AM radio in New York after being called on to create and manage their in-house telemarketing team, a novel concept at the time. Later, after guest hosting for a few shows with a well known local private eye, she subsequently went on to host and produce another show of her own called “Angels Work” on WGBB-1240AM in Merrick, NY. This time she spotlighted individuals and organizations that helped worthy causes, protecting children, animals and the environment from abuse, as well as non-profits offering support to those in need.
