12/19: Carol Blackmon returns to radio at Grown Folks 102.5
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Good news! Somebody is being hired before Christmas — not fired!
Carol Blackmon, part of the powerhouse Mike & Carol morning show for V-103 before Frank and Wanda back in the 1990s, is returning to radio after 10 years off the air.
She will be manning weekend afternoons from 3 to 7 p.m. on Grown Folks 102.5 starting January 24. (That’s when Grown Folks is full-time music.) Promos will begin next week, said her now boss Derek Harper in a call this afternoon.
I’m technically on vacation so I’m not going to do much now but will call Carol when I get back December 29 for some follow up. She had said to me back in October when I did a “whatever happened to” piece that she was willing to go back to radio if the right opportunity came along. Harper said he and she had been talking on and off for about a year.
Blackmon has been doing on-air Georgia Lottery work and taking care of her son’s acting career.
