A recently announced San Antonio morning radio show has been delayed due to a health emergency. Via social media, country station Y100 announced that Erik & Jenny will be postponed indefinitely as host Erik Scott Smith's son is being treated in Houston. The show was slated to debut on Monday, May 5.

The morning drive-time block had been announced mere days before the planned premiere. Jenny Lee, a longtime local radio host, was set to join Smith behind the mic. The show was scheduled to air between 6-10 am on weekdays.

According to a statement from Y100, Smith's son was rushed to the emergency room on May 3. Although medical personnel have ruled out several diagnoses, the cause of the issues has not yet been determined.

"In a dark hallway is not really how I wanted to introduce myself to you today," said Smith in a video statement. "I won't be going live today because I've spent the last 48 hours living at the Texas Children's Hospital."

Erik & Jenny marked Lee's return to San Antonio airwaves after unexpectedly parting ways with 105.3 in November 2024. The new show was set to replace Tucker "Frito" Young and Katy Dempsey's show, now moved to 100.3 The Bull in Houston.

Smith said once his son is stabilized, he would work with Y100's parent company, Cox Media Group, to set a new premiere date. He is focusing all his energy on his son's health for now.

"It is heartbreaking, but at the same time, it's amazing to see what a tough little dude I've raised, and I'm just so proud of him," Erik said via video.
