8-year old Jack Perry, New England’s youngest Patriots reporter, starts his 5th season on the radio this Wednesday, September 14th. ‘Jack’s Playback’ airs on Lite Rock 105 (WWLI-FM, 105.1FM) in Providence, RI and it can be heard any time at www.literock105fm.com. While Jack’s weekly ‘Playback’ normally airs at 7:25a on Tuesdays, this week’s Wednesday start is due to the Monday Night Football game in Miami. See, Jack needs a full day to prepare his report because his parents won’t let him stay up late to watch the games on school nights.
Jack is currently a 2nd grader at the Stanley Elementary School in Waltham, MA and he’s enjoying his first season as a Waltham Devil Dog, his local Pop Warner football team. One day, he says, he hopes to be a QB like his "Main Man" Tom Brady.

Jack has been doing the ‘Playback’ during the ‘Jones & Heather in the Morning’ show since he was just 4-years old. His reports are once again sponsored by The Hall at Patriot Place presented by Raytheon! Jack is also hoping to “step things up this year” and finally meet his ‘Main Man’ but Tom Brady is not an easy man to meet!

Pats’ owner Robert Kraft has even sent Jack a letter, praising his on-air abilities!

I'm pretty sure they get more excited to meet him than me at our radio
