[edit] Early career
A graduate of Mesivta Ohr Torah of Riverdale and Yeshiva University's Yeshiva College, Segal began his radio career at the Yeshiva University campus radio station WYUR (Yeshiva University Radio), in 1981. At the university he acquired the initial skills and technical know-how to host a radio show. During his senior year at Yeshiva, Segal was approached by Norman Laster (Neshoma Show) through Mr. Larry Wachsman (Director of Student Activities at YU) and offered the opportunity to produce and host the Hebrew and Jewish Program at Upsala College's WFMU. (The departing host was Larry Gordon.)
[edit] JM in the AM
Segal started at WFMU in September 1983. Since then the show has grown in popularity around the world. Segal's presentation of music, news, and community events accompanies tens of thousands of listeners through their morning routine. Nachum serves as Master of Ceremonies for major New York area concerts and Jewish events.
Upsala College went out of business in 1995. However, station management had purchased the license from the college the previous year, and the station went on to function as an independent entity, moving from East Orange to Jersey City, New Jersey, in 1998. Segal's program was retained during this transitional period and remains in the 6-9 am block Monday through Friday.
In addition to JM in the AM, Segal also hosts The Nachum Segal Show, which can be heard Monday through Thursday from 7-9pm on 620am WSNR in Jersey City.
[edit] Family
Segal lives on the Lower East Side of Manhattan with his wife Staci (née Weintraub) and their children: Binyamin, Chava, Yosef,Yehoshua, Yonina and Gavriel.
He is the son of Esther and the late Rabbi Zev Segal.[1]
