The Hunter is such a diverse and vibrant region there are literally thousands of places Jill could visit. But why you? Why your place?
Make your case and send Jill an invitation she can't refuse, painting a picture that makes your place a must-visit location.
You can find entry forms, details and terms and conditions here for Jill Emberson: Live at Your Place.
To give you an idea of what you can expect, Jill this week did her first Live from Your Place broadcast.
Presenting her show live from the Ethnic Community Council at Waratah, Jill and the 1233 team met members of the local Tongan and Samoan community.
Centred mainly around the suburbs of Mayfield, Bolton Point and Lambton, many of our Polynesian community came to Newcastle in the 1970s seeking jobs at the BHP.
More recently football opportunities have been a big drawcard.
Islanders are known for their food, hospitality and music and all three were highlights of Jill's broadcast on Wednesday.
The Tongans preprared a traditional "umu" meal, including pork, fish, tarro, bananas and sweet potato.
Meeting everyone from Newcastle Knights players to church ministers and high school students gave Jill a great overview of Polynesians in the Hunter.
And house band the Kolo Sensations, also known as the Coconut Trio, provided that relaxed island atmosphere with their lovely music.
It was a day to remember, and next time it could be your place that features.
It can be your home, but could also be your office or workplace, your local club or community group, or highlighting an event or hobby you're passionate about.
As long as it's special to you, tell us your story and be the next to welcome Jill and the team to Your Place!
