Tampa Bay’s 1st Place Favorite Local Radio Show
Tampa Bay’s “The Miguel & Holly Show” on Hot 101.5 was billed as funny, authentic and real, which was exactly the type of radio co-hosts Miguel Fuller and Holly O’Connor gave listeners for nearly seven years.
The morning show launched in 2015 and ended Feb. 4 when they announced their imminent departure. The two thanked Cox Media Group for allowing them the rare opportunity to directly address the show’s supporters on the matter.
“Our dreams and our goals are constantly evolving and much like we always encourage you to do, it’s time for us to leap,” O’Connor said. “We are jumping into our future … hoping against all odds that you know how much we love you.”
“We’ve shared so many adventures together,” Fuller followed. “I love this medium and what it can do, but you listening has brought it to life. You let this poor, gay, Black kid from Atlanta, Georgia come here and fulfill his dreams.”
The two also helped listeners do the same, regularly supporting initiatives throughout their Tampa Bay tenure. They frequented everything from book drives to LGBTQ events.
Fans didn’t have to wait long to learn about their next steps. The duo announced their move to iHeartMedia Charlotte’s 96.1 on Feb. 17, where they made their debut this month.
It was a full circle moment for the team, who met during a 2008 radio conference in the city. It’s a tale Tampa Bay listeners can hear them recount from North Carolina on the iHeartMedia app.
“We are so thankful for everyone that supported us through the years here in Tampa Bay,” Fuller says. “This will always be a place we call home.”
