At seven in the morning, most students are still in bed.
Not Sherman Murdock. He is on the airwaves for Sherm Radio, the campus radio station's hit morning show.
Murdock, a junior mass communications major from Chicago, is currently changing the face of campus radio one day at a time, with The Sherm Radio Morning Show, which airs Monday through Friday from 7am-10am.
Shortly after his freshman year in high school, his mother informed him of an internship opportunity with radio station WKKC in Chicago.
After receiving the internship and only working a short time, the program was cancelled. His work was so good, however, that the station allowed him to say.
Murdock also said he has modeled his own career after the station's Trey the Choklit Jok. One day, he realized that radio was definitely the profession he wanted to pursue.
Before enrolling at TSU, Murdock met up with Faheem Goree, TSU alum and former WTST campus radio personality, to begin working on Goree' s show.
After coming to TSU, he branched out on his own and started Smokehouse Radio.
Soon after, he decided to try a morning show. He began showing his mettle with the Back to the Basics Morning Show with Erk Dogg and Brandi. His was well on his way to developing his on-air personality.
"Sherman is a trailblazing young shock jock changing the game of TSU radio," said Brandon Nix, a senior mass communications major from Memphis.
Back to the Basics gave way to Erk's Dogghouse during the spring 2007 semester; the show ran until the middle of the fall of 2007.
After a change in the production team for the show, Sherm Radio was born.
Ideas from the previous shows were carried over to create the show that listeners everywhere are taking heed to.
His current radio show, Sherm Radio, is now breaking into a national realm after being mentioned on Power 92 in Chicago, online at www.mediatakeout.com and on a few other blogs and online columns.
