Twenty years ago, she was one-half of a popular Country radio station’s morning show teamed with the late Ken Carlisle. With sales management experience, Amie Pollard would also serve as Program Director of WTVY-FM in Dothan, Ala., under Styles Media Group ownership. Later, she’d serve as a consulting producer for BBC Worldwide and TLC’s Bama Belles reality series, after being cast on NBC’s Great American Road Trip reality series in 2009.
Pollard would return to local radio in the Wiregrass Region of Alabama as PD/morning host of a now-defunct Gulf South Communications Country FM again paired with Carlisle, and since his 2012 death has been largely focused on her own endeavors as a producer and as GM of Kensington Digital Media‘s four stations in Dothan.
Soon, you’ll be able to count Pollard among the Deep South’s few female radio station owners, and she’s taking a station made famous by the woman who signed it on the air in 1948 and launched its FM sibling in fall 1964.
