Cox Media Urban AC “Kiss 104.1” WALR Palmetto/Atlanta has announced the addition of Monie Love for afternoons.
Love most recently hosted middays at Urban One’s 106.7 WTLC Indianapolis. She served as co-host to Ed Lover’s Reach Media syndicated morning show until it was cancelled at the end of 2017. She previously has hosted mornings for 100.3 WRNB and 107.9 WPHI Philadelphia, had a show on XM Satellite Radio, and has appeared on multiple Atlanta based television shows. She started her career as a rapper in her native England and became a protégé to Queen Latifah and received two Grammy nominations.
She completes the revamp of WALR under new Program Director Terri Avery that saw the station add Dyron Ducati for middays last month.
KISS 104.1 (WALR-FM/Atlanta) welcomes two-time Grammy nominee and radio personality Monie Love to the weekday afternoon lineup for the Atlanta-based station. Beginning Wednesday, May 22, you can hear her Monday through Friday from 2 to 7 p.m.
Terri Avery, director of branding and programming, says, “We are so excited to have Monie Love join the KISS 104.1 team. Her love of hip-hop, entertaining personality and star power make her a great addition to our afternoons here in Atlanta.”
Since her start in British hip-hop in the late 1980s, Love quickly elevated her position in the industry and brought her talents and musical influence to the United States years later. She is well-known for her status as a protégé to Queen Latifah and association with Native Tongues in the late 1980s, early 1990s.
Love received Grammy nominations for “Monie in the Middle” and “It’s a Shame (My Sister),” and was featured on the remix of Whitney Houston’s R&B hit “My Name Is Not Susan.” She co-hosted the syndicated Ed Lover Morning Show and has been featured in a number of TV shows here in Atlanta, including “Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta”, “Dish Nation” and “Rickey Smiley’s For Real TV”; and is currently on Season 5 of “Little Women of Atlanta.”
“I’m excited to be joining the KISS 104.1 family in afternoon drive. Get ready for a good time!” says Love.
