Monica Reed

I was born and raised in Ohio, but a southerner at heart! I have been in the south for about 20 years. I have family in Marietta and Atlanta. I did most of my growing up in Marietta. I look forward to getting out and about in the community! My musical taste is all over the map, but some of my favs are Kutless, Kris Allen, Steven Curtis Chapman, Amy Grant and Chris Tomlin! Another fav…COLLEGE FOOTBALL!!! I love SEC football!

Pete and Brenda in the Morning

Before they launched their morning show together in 2001, Pete & Brenda were each successful on their own as radio hosts in Atlanta, Philadelphia, Baltimore-Washington D.C., and Houston, working at legendary stations like WSB-FM, WASH-FM, WCAO, WMZQ-FM, WCAU-FM and KKBQ-FM.

Then in 2001 someone said, “Why don’t you host a morning show together?” So, off they went to Upstate New York (where it snows over 200 inches every year!) to launch their morning show.

Pete knew from the time he was six years old that he wanted to work in radio. He grew up outside of Philadelphia and headed to school in Washington D.C. to start his broadcasting education.

Brenda became a broadcaster completely by accident. She was born in Bermuda where her father served in the Air Force (there was an active base there at the time) and was raised in Maryland. She was an English major in college and had planned to be a writer. On a whim she attended a few broadcasting classes and changed her mind.

Pete & Brenda met while volunteering at the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center Oncology Unit in Baltimore. They were married in 1987.

Pete is a former EMT and has served as a volunteer ambulance driver. He coached football and is a certified drug counselor. Pete loves sports and while in Upstate New York co-hosted a sports call-in show with legendary Syracuse basketball coach Jim Boeheim.

Brenda is a three-time Associated Press award winner for Public Service. She helped launch a first of its kind, award-winning literacy radio program to help people learn to read and write. Brenda is also a talented artist who worked as a graphics designer and writer before launching her radio career.
