(CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA-WINA)  When he exited the Daily Progress after 36 years, many people wondered where Jerry Ratcliffe would land.  He went on to start his own website JerryRatcliffe.com, and now he will embark on a new platform.  Starting on Saturday December 15th, longtime UVA Columnist and Sports Writer Jerry Ratcliffe will begin hosting a weekly radio show on ESPN Radio 1450 and 102.9FM in Charlottesville.  The show will air every Saturday morning from 9 a.m. to 10 a. m. and will feature former UVA standouts in Football and Men’s Basketball, as well as media icons in the world of collegiate sports.  Jerry will use his nearly 40 years of experience and relationships to produce a compelling conversation each week.  Again the show will begin on Saturday, December 15th.  Jerry joined WINA’s “The Best Seat in the House” to discuss the new project.
