Lesley Lotto
President /Founder

She’s worked in the entertainment industry for more than 30 years as a talent agent, talk show host, podcaster, news reporter and anchor. Her combined experience in the music, film, TV and radio broadcasting industries gives her an unparalleled level of experience in the field. Lesley's passion for news reporting led to network anchoring opportunities for TRN's “America`s Radio News”, the Blaze Radio Network, where Lesley helped start the 24/7 short form news operation for Sirius/XM Patriot, Fox News Headlines 24/7 also on Sirius/XM, and currently at Bloomberg Radio as a freelance Business Reporter/Anchor and weekend anchor for Bloomberg's WBBR in New York City.

Jon Demaster
Anchor Teammate
Father to 4 beautiful children, a midwest native, and lover of news. Jon grew up on a 150 year old dairy farm along the shores of Lake Michigan in Wisconsin (we love our Packers, and our Cheese).
He also grew up with a microphone on the desk in his bedroom, the brown Fischer Price Tape Deck (you know, the one with the handle), a camcorder on his shoulder, and never stopped talking. In 2001, while installing telephone systems at a radio station, he saw the afternoon DJ interacting with listeners on the local top 40 station and asked the Program Director if he could try it.
After getting a chance at the coveted "weekend overnight" shift, Jon moved to middays on the heritage Hot AC station in the market. After a few years of "talking for 10 seconds between songs" he says he got hungry for more, and asked the news director if he could help him on the weekends. From there, the news just kept getting better and better, working with some amazing people along the way!

Morgan McCarthy
Anchor Teammate
Morgan is pretty lucky. She’ll admit that right away.
She gets to do what she loves every day and it somehow counts as “work!”
But she also works hard to earn the right to keep doing that every day.
Morgan didn’t grow up wanting to be on the radio. The path was about as tangled as the cord on a pair of discarded headphones. The short version of a long story is that she grew up in the country and rolling hills of America’s DairyLand, *hit Fast Forward*
From Wisconsin, she flew the nest to Boston, MA and absorbed all the education and brownstone architecture that she could while attending Emerson College. Now, after some more miles down the scenic route (literally-including a roadtrip around the lower 48 states), she has returned to Wisconsin and is using her voice and Bachelor of Science in Speech degree every day on the airwaves of the Midwest Family radio stations in Eau Claire.
Live, local radio is a passion for her in the role as News Director at the 715 Newsroom where she is committed to being a source of “News Done Differently.” Here as part of the team at Remote News Service, Morgan extends her passion for broadcasting in an anchor role for various stations around the country, as well. That's on-mic.
Off mic, it's family as a lifestyle, books as a pastime, nature as therapy, beer as a hobby, dogs as best friends....oh, and a little bit of adventure-and luck-along the way.
Thanks for listening.
