ORLANDO, Fla. – (date)– Cox Media Group (“CMG”) today announced that radio and television media veteran Monica May, will be returning to Star 94.5 WCFB-Orlando, as the host of “Monica May’s Point of View.” This weekly community-based show will highlight key topics and issues on Sunday mornings from 6-7 A.M. Monica will also become a part of the Star 94.5 personality weekend line-up. She will also be pivotal in creating and developing key community outreach activities. She starts on Sunday, May 8, 2022.
Monica brings decades of dynamic community engagement, and experience as a radio & television host. In addition to keynote speaking, political forum moderation, and corporate consulting, Monica facilitates workshops on an array of topics including her flagship workshop, Let’s Spill the Tea, which came to life after a heart-to-heart with her daughter and other young women who felt guarded when having conversations with their mothers.
Elroy Smith, Branding and Programming Director of WCFB states: “I am thrilled to have Monica back on STAR 94.5. During my first conversation with her in December 2021, I knew right away why she made such an impact in Orlando. She is smart, well-read, polished, real with her emotions, community-oriented, and cares for the citizens of Orlando. I look forward to experiencing that Midas touch of Monica May on Star 94.5.”
Jason Meder, Vice President & General Manager of Cox Media Group-Orlando states: “Monica May has been a pillar in the Central Florida community for many years. We could not be happier to have her back as the center point of our community connection!”
Steve Stewart, Operation’s Manager adds “Monica’s passion for community service is second to none. Her caring spirit and wonderful smile will be so great to have back in the building!”
According to Monica May, “I am super excited to come back to Star 94.5. These last 2 1/2 years have been a whirlwind – developing a new business of my own and expanding our catering business through the pandemic to now include a bistro. But there’s nothing like being on the radio. Getting a call from Elroy Smith, the world’s BEST programmer, and getting the offer to return was something I never imagined. He and Jason Meder, Vice President/General Manager, have opened their arms to me and I am grateful. Also, I am very thankful to Steve Stewart, Operations Manager for embracing me. I feel like Esther 4:14 Born for Such a Time as This. There’ll be a lot to talk about on Monica May’s Point of View at 6 am Sundays, and of course, playing the best R&B Sunday evenings will be fun.”
