One of MJ’s longtime friends, both personally and professionally, is Fox 13’s Kelly Ring.
Kelly is broadcasting her final newscast this evening at 6 P.M. It’s been an amazing ride for her. Thirty-seven years! What a career. She is a Tampa Bay treasure. She chatted with us on the Morning Show and shared what the future looks like for her and her family, as well as some of her highlights and most memorable moments…one of which included when MJ tried to name Kelly’s baby, Lurch.
You can hear her on-air with us here. Congratulations, Kelly!
