Favorite Black Female Radio Personalities
 

Who are some of your favorite black FEMALE radio personalities? Why?

One of my favorites is Olivia Fox, who is now on a radio station in Tampa, but used to be on the Russ Parr Morning Show. I like her because she was down to earth, wasn't caught up on appearances, had a great rapport with Russ Parr but hosted well by herself sometimes, worked with youth, and has some pretty noble philathropies.

I also like Taylor Thomas, the News Director of WKYS here in DC. She hosted an event called the Sister to Sister Sorority luncheon last summer. She has also hosted our Black and Gold Ball. She really cares about the community.

I just wanted to shout out women in radio because I noticed that a lot of men have their names on the shows, but women are the backbone of the programming, more often than not.

Wendy Williams. Why? She's crazy and very entertaining.

Jonesy (Miss Jones). Why? She keeps it real with everyone.

Sybil Wilkes. Why? She's very articulate and is very educated in everything involving Black America.

Wendy Williams....is she syndicated now, or is she with Hot 97, or what?

What station is Miss Jones with?

I know Sybil is with the Tom Joyner Morning show....I like Miss Dupree myself. ;)

Ooh..Nannette Lee of K104 in Dallas is great. So funny and so real..she recently lost a lot of weight and advocates to women of all sizes that you must remain true to yourself and love urself both inside and out...love listening to the Skip Murphy Morning Show...

I miss Olivia Fox. . .Alfredas just was not hitting on nothing for me but since Russ no longer comes on in Charlotte. . . :(

I'll have to co-sign with you on that one. She used to have me cracking up when I was in high school. Unfortunately, I don't live in Dallas anymore. :(

I like DeeDee of the Doug Banks Morning Show.


I despise Wendy Williams.

Olivia Fox is from my mom's neighborhood. My mom knows her and her family very well. I'm glad to hear she is doing well because my mother spoke to Olivia's mother some time back and said she was still looking for a radio station. Moms told me she was good peeps. Thanks for the update.

I was listening to Russ this morning and they commerical said something like "the least listened to radio station on this side of the Arch". I started crackin up.

Wendy Williams the girl is just carazy, and has me rolling every time I listen to her.

And I used to like Yvonne Mobily(sp) I don't know what ever happened to her....

She was one of my favorites too. Russ is all I listen to when I listen to the radio. That show is the tight, but was even better with Ms. Foxx. Alfredas is okay, but she can't replace the original.

I too must agree that Olivia Fox was one of the best female radio personalities. I liked her because she kept it oh soo real. I miss her I wish i could listen to her in Columbus.

I love her 2. She is koo, Rep for the West Coast. Even though I don't listen to to much of the radio cause I get sick of them playin the same songs.

You know what I just remembered that I liked about Olivia Fox?

The "Whatever Hater" Trailer Park Lady. WHATEVER HATER! YOU DON'T KNOW ME!!!!

I also like when she and Russ used to sing/talk songs like R. Kelly and Sparkle.

Snap, I bought the Russ Parr Morning Show CD a long time ago, I think I need to listen to it tomorrow!

I love her "Preach One, Teach One, Olivia" and when she used to do the Horiscopes. Man I really miss her I didnt know they had a CD i might have to purchase that.

Renel in the Bay Area, on 98.1, and the voice of the Giants. She's always easy to listen to, and I've seen her give speeches at events. She's def. an asset to Deltas, and Black people in general. If only all Blacks in the media had their sh*t together as much as her, I wouldn't have to be embarassed every time I turn on the tv or radio.

Wendy is syndicated, but she is back in NY after doing a stint on Power 99 in Philly.


Miss Jones (Jonesy) was just let go from 103.9 in Philly. My cousin told me yesterday that she's back in NYC on the air.

Miss Jones recently returned back to HOT 97.1 in New York. She's once again part of the morning show along with Joe Budden and somebody else (can't remember the girl's name).

Are you talking about Miss Info?

Yeah, she's the other person I was talking about.

Thanks!!! :D :D :D
