Helping people feel connected: Jennie Lenman celebrates 6 years at 5MU
Reporter
Jennie Lenman has reflected on some of her first moments on air as this week, she celebrates six years at 5MU in South Australia’s Murray Bridge.
Jennie – who co-hosts Breakfast alongside Adam Connelly – continues to carve a successful career as a journalist and announcer at both 5MU and its ARN sister station Power FM.
In a social media post, Jennie said “It appears I’ve come a long way, from clinging to scripts out of fear of saying the wrong thing, to becoming totally at ease with the unknown, ad-libbing, and loosening up.”
“Adam Connelly, Rob McLennan and the team here at Radio 5MU and Power FM SA have helped me get out my comfort zone and grow as an announcer and journalist, embrace my unique personality in all its greatness (AND CRINGEYNESS) and find my voice.”
In thanking listeners, friends and mentors for their ongoing support, Jennie said “Here’s to many more years of growth, and getting better at copping scrutiny, learning from mistakes, and just making great content.”
“At the end of the day, it’s not really about me at all, but about helping people feel connected, understood and informed.”
To celebrate the occasion, 5MU posted ‘then’ and ‘now’ photos, marking Jennie’s radio journey.
“From the first photo working here to the last, we love working with Jennie and we know you love having her on air too.”
A great achievement by an exceptional talent. Jen is one of those people whose hands you you feel confident placing the future of our industry in. Well done Jennie!
Working as both a breakfast announcer and journalist sounds like a really tough and unique balancing act. How would you find time to interview subjects and compile TOH news scripts if you’re also focused on the breakfast show?
Just goes to show how much of a hard worker and great radio talent Jennie is.
Without Jennie, I’m sure I’d be writing crappy press releases for crappier government departments.
An exemplar of talent and humour and kindness, working alongside Jennie is the highlight of my career.
Hey Jen
You have such an easy listening to beautiful voice on the radio.
Love the breckie show
Keep up the great work
