Charlotte Welcomes Miguel & Holly
• After nearly two weeks of radio silence after resigning from Cox Media Group Top 40 WPOI (Hot 101.5)/Tampa, Miguel Fuller and Holly O’Connor have reemerged with information on their new destination — iHeartMedia Top 40 WHQC (HITS 96.1)/Charlotte, where Miguel & Holly launches March 7.
“I’m so excited to welcome Miguel & Holly to Charlotte and iHeartMedia,” said A.J., SVP of Programming for iHeartMedia Charlotte and Raleigh. “They hold a winning track record and I’ve always appreciated how quickly they make a strong personal connection with their audience, lean into and embrace their local community, and provide a place where listeners can experience pop culture moments together.”
“It’s evident that Miguel and Holly strive to be the best every day,” said Dave Carwile, President of iHeartMedia Charlotte. “I’m confident that they will quickly engage with a sensational morning show and build strong relationships with our listeners and the local advertising community in Charlotte and the Carolinas.”
Fuller and O’Connor joined Hot 101.5/Tampa in March 2015, transitioning from mornings on Magic Broadcasting Top 40 WILN (Island 106)/Panama City Beach, FL. “Holly and I are absolutely honored to join the iHeartRadio family as we’ve always admired the company’s cutting-edge approach in keeping listeners and advertisers connected,” said Miguel. “I’m so thankful that Holly and I get to continue to work together and host a morning show that will bring new, fun and genuine energy to The Queen City every morning!”
O’Connor noted, “Miguel and I met for the first time at a radio conference in Charlotte back in 2008. We’ve now come full-circle and will now work together in the same city where it all began. Words can’t describe how excited we are to get started at our new home, HITS 96.1. We are so grateful to the entire iHeartMedia senior leadership team for this opportunity.”
