Our Team :: Jerry Morelli’s Bio
Jerry grew up in the town of Garwood in Union County, and graduated from David Brearly High School in Kenilworth. He attended Jones College in Jacksonville, Florida, where he majored in broadcasting.
He began his career at WVRM in Hazlet, NJ, where he served a number of roles: disc jockey, sports director and eventually station manager. From there Jerry moved on to WSUS, in Franklin. While at WSUS, he served as sports director for both their television and radio departments and became a familiar face to Sussex County television viewers.
Jerry also worked as a morning DJ for WJDM in Elizabeth, and WERA in Plainfield. In addition, Jerry served as a television reporter for Newsport, a national sports news channel, and ESPN Scholastic Sports America.
In 1993, Jerry founded Mugs Media. Jerry’s first production with his company was the Sports Beat, which recently celebrated its 10th anniversary on Service Electric Cable Television. He continues to serve as the host and producer of that program to this day.
Jerry and his wife, Sally, have been married since 1986 and have one daughter, Jeena-otherwise known as "Pumpkin" and clearly a local television celebrity in her own right.
