On November 14, 2007, The Hard Rock Café set the perfect stage for our special luncheon roundtable, “FM Radio’s Angels of the Morning.” Our favorite FM morning-drive personalities—Karen Carson and Christine Nagy from 106.7 Lite-FM’s “Karen and Christine in the Morning, Shelli Sonstein from Q-104’s “Jim Kerr Rock & Roll Morning Show,” Patty Steele from WPLJ’s “The Big Show with Scott & Todd” and Julianne Welby and Claudia Marshall from WFUV’s “City Folk Morning”—gathered for an entertaining and enlightening afternoon. These amazing women shared their thoughts on everything from work/life balance and personal challenges to ratings, formats and the future of terrestrial radio. It was an inspiring day and a great time was had by all!
