Dinner Fun at Asa de Cuba

Mike McVay (President/McVay Media), Heather Cohen (EVP/The Weiss Agency), Julie Adam (GM CHFI/Toronto), Steve Jones (VP/Programming NewCap), Rockie Thomas (McVay New Media) and Eric Weiss (President/ The Weiss Agency) posed following dinner at Asa de Cuba in Los Angeles. This motley crue was in LA for the Dan O'Day PD Grad School and stayed over for the 80th Annual Academy Awards.





Rumor has it that several members of the dinner party were "over served" by an irresponsible waiter.

Tomlin Greeted with Drums, Cheerleaders

During The JOY FM’s mini-tour for An Evening with Chris Tomlin, one venue greeted the artist and The Morning Cruise with a friendly demonstration of school spirit...



Leading up to the release of the newest Sixsteps Records release, "Passion: God of this City” The JOY FM hosted a three-city tour of An Evening with Chris Tomlin over three nights, January 31, February 1 and 2. Friday morning Chris joined The Morning Cruise for a live broadcast from the second venue, First Baptist Church of Indian Rocks, also the site of Indian Rocks Christian School. Treated to a few surprises from the morning show, neither the artist nor hosts were prepared for the school’s national champion varsity cheerleading squad or the award-winning drum line, both of which stopped by to perform.
