The Newseum kindly welcomed "The Tommy Show" inside for a colorful photo shoot, including a playful shot in front of a section of the Berlin Wall.
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- It’s been two months since CBS Radio first flipped the switch on
The Tommy Show and the budding morning program has never been stronger.
Host
Tommy McFLY and fellow on-air personalities
Kelly Collis and
Jen Richer continue to entertain Washingtonians during their morning commute, with a playful blend of wit, humor, charm, and, of course, news and music.
Chimed McFLY: “Sixty days, and Kelly and Jen keep showing up! It's so unbelievable to come to work with people I genuinely love each day and have the time of our lives wakin' up Washington!”
Since
94.7 Fresh FM first made the decision to field a new D.C. morning show in May, McFLY & co. have been deftly maneuvering to secure their place among the radio preset buttons of the District’s sometimes choosy listeners. And with ratings rapidly growing, their success speaks for itself.
"That 3:30 alarm is not so bad,” said Collis. “It is a thrill to work with a talented team and in a number 9 media market! I love that my radio mentor has so much energy and passion for the business; I have learned so much from Tommy."
Program highlights for the trio over the first two months have ranged from the regal (Collis chatted with
Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, about her divorce) to the humorous (
Michael Lohan confided in Tommy that
Tareq and Michaele Salahis stiffed him when they rented his condo in Los Angeles) to the personal (Richer shamelessly leveraged her producing power for personal gain to find out if musician
Jason Mraz was single).
“I still can't believe we're getting paid for this,” said Richer. “We are having such a blast - it's like playing truth-or-dare with your buddies - every morning!”
