What is Roofsit?
Roofsit began in 1996 when two DJs at U93 radio station wanted to help victims of abuse. The DJs spent a week on local business rooftop, day and night (eating, sleeping, working and the bathroom!). They stayed on-air, sharing letters, emails, phone calls and personal interviews with survivors of abuse, often breaking down in tears over the pain the surviviors had endured. Donations poured in to help educate the community and provide counseling services for vicitms and survivors.
To date, over $1.5 million has been raised to assist abuse survivors and educate the public on how to stop the cycle of violence. All of the money raised is granted to agencies in the U93 listening area. More
Who are the Roofsit DJs?
The Roofsit DJs are from the U93 morning crew: Rob and AJ.
AJ -- the sensible one, the mature business end of the show. He preps and tries to be funny, but sometimes isn't. In fact, we've made it into a bit, where we praise and critique his comedy, or lack there of. He's reliable, trustworthy and one of your immediate best friends!
Rob -- the crazy, funny, most likely to end up in jail part of the show. Rob is straight forward and honest, and works that into his humor. He always entertains and occasionally upsets, but usually because you feel sorry for his stupidity. But in the end he's love-able, dependable and the 1st you'll call for a party! More
