This is on the front page of Radio-Info. Michelle Pilenza never mentioned she was expecting so this is a shock. I guess this is what happens when you talk about sex every night !

"Congratulations to WKXW-FM (101.5) talk host Michelle Pilenza, who added to her audience with her first child, Jackson Alan. Mother & baby are doing well, according to PD Eric Johnson, who says while she's on maternity leave, former station talk host Michelle Jerson will fill-in for evenings ..."
 
YAAAAAAA ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Congrats to Michelle Pilenza and her hubby!!!!

Nice PC initials!

haha

Actually, those aren't his initials. Michele's maiden name is Pilenza. She decided to keep using it on the air.

Guess I haven't talked to Michele in the last 9 months, as I had no idea she was pregnant! Congrats Michele & Alan!
 
Kyle,

You haven't talked to her in 9 months? Hmmmm?????

Only kidding,, I couldn't resist.

Congratulations Michelle.
 
Look, people, she spells her name with one L, not two. So far, Kyle has it right.

Congratulations, Michele.
 
I don't listen to her show, so maybe someone can help me out here.....while doing her show, did she EVER make reference to the fact that she was pregnant? I really hope so or she just comes across as being a fraud. Tommy G's daughter gets engaged and he's on the air talking about it on a consistent basis. Part of building an audience is giving the listeners the idea that they "know" the person doing the show. If she's doing a show about relationships, including doing topics about people having or not having children, I would think that the fact that she was expecting would come up at one point or another.

I listen to both Michele Pilenza and Tommy G on a regular basis and they are both excellent and very entertaining shows on NJ101.5. I even hear your calls once in a while which raise Tommy's blood pressure lol. I don't feel Michele is a fraud for not letting her audience know she was expecting since hosts pick and choose what they want their audience to know about especially in their personal life. For example Tommy G had a nice write up with his brothers and their movie in the New York Daily News and I never heard Tommy G mention it. I only found out about it from a story here in radio info that directed me to the NY Daily News. I found more information about Tommy G's premiere and personal life from reading his myspace and Craig Alan who attended the premiere wrote a very detailed blog of the premiere and is on Tommy's top friends - click on Craig like I did to see his Robodoc Premiere blog review which is a very interesting read and gives full insight into who Tommy G really is that Tommy G doesn't fully talk about on air. Again, radio personalities pick and choose what they want their audience to know. Here's the myspace link which is very interesting.
