The combo is ready to ignite the DC morning airwaves, bringing non-stop music and entertainment.
"We are excited to expand our morning show footprint in DC. Our listeners have the ability to tap into the Tom Joyner Morning Show, Russ Parr Morning Show and now The Fam," said Jeff Wilson, Senior Regional Vice President and General Manager, Radio One DC. "The energy, music selection and first-hand entertainment knowledge QuickSilva and Lil Mo bring to the market is priceless."
Lil Mo, a well-known R&B singer, co-star of TV One's R&B Divas of LA and a proven radio personality describes herself simply as a, "mom and a wife." Known for her no-nonsense and 'in your face' approach, Lil Mo says, "I'm a voice to this generation. I see myself as a big sister or auntie for our Millennium audience. I'm the one that will get right with you and tell you the straight-up truth!"
