South FL Media Personalities on National Shows/Movies?

RadioGuy2004

Here's a fun thread. Feel free to add to the list and go back as far as you can think.........

Sonny Fox (WSHE, Y-100, Majic, KISS) made appearances on ESPN and Oprah.

Jill Beach (WSVN/WTVJ) appeared in Flight of the Navigator as a Newscenter 7 anchor.

Tony Segreto (WTVJ) sat in numerous time on The Sports Machine for the late George Michael and also put in appearances on The Golden Girls, Empty Nest and Nurses.

Bryan Norcross (WPLG/WTVJ/WFOR/Weather Channel) - need I say more?

I could swear I see Don "Cox on the Radio" Cox (Y-100/Power 96/I-95) on MIAMI VICE (The Home Invaders S1) credited as "Steven Grant"

OK, RD'ers. Take it away........
 
Sonny Fox's main claim to fame is programming and voicing several rock, comedy, and other channels on XM, now SiriusXM, and speaking of XM, Lee Abrams had DJ'd on (was it?) WMYQ. WFUN's Bob Gordon had a cameo role as himself in one of the many grade B "piranha" movies of the 1970's.
National talents who passed through Miami include Larry King and Sally Jesse (Raphael).
WKAT's Lynn Russel spent many years on Headline News and WPTV's (almost Miami) Jennifer Valoppi spent a few with Super Station WwOR.
WINZ's Risa Jill Miller did overnights on the then fledgling ESPN Radio network.
Randi Rhodes (Air America and others) from some NT "musical call letters" stations in the Palm Beaches.

DavidEdwardo could come up with more names than the rest of us combined, from Telemundo (Hialeah) and SIN/Univision (Doral).

There are lots of Miami radio folks who have been on national Spanish language TV.

The well respected TV interviewer who did this week's Obama feature, Jorge Ramos, has done radio with Univision, and, IIRC, Radio Unica's network. The sportscaster with the same name has also done radio.

One of the longest runs on network TV was Javier Romero, the host of WAMR's morning show, who was the "Ed McMahon" to don Francisco on the Saturday variety show, "Sábado Gigante."

There are dozens more.... mostly because Univision network TV originates from Miami, so they are always in need of talent.
 
Omar Moynelo of WCMQ, WRTO, and WQBA had a show on Atevé for a while. I saw it on Puerto Rico's affiliate.

And let's not forget that Mega TV broadcasts a lot of its radio shows on television. I saw WCMQ's Fonomemecos on the local Mega TV affiliate as well.

Fernando del Rincón of Mega TV eventually got to host WRMA's morning show for a while. Hell, it eventually got renamed "Paparazzi Radio" after the TV show, "Paparazzi TV."

No one else I can recall from the big two Spanish networks (Univision and Telemundo) though.
