Carmen's Calls

Cox Media Group (CMG) will add "Carmen's Calls" to its Florida CHR stations starting in January. The daily comedy segment created by Raul "Rico" Colindres and Mama Rico Productions features the misadventures of the lovably dysfunctional Carmen as she navigates her way through life's daily challenges in two-minute episodes. Under the deal with Skyview Networks, CMG will add "Carmen's Calls" to WFLC-FM/Miami and WPOI-FM/Tampa, while continuing on WPYO-FM/Orlando.

"Carmen is a hilarious character whose comedy prank calls are just what our listeners need in the middle of this global pandemic," said Cox Media Group VP of Programming Steve Smith. "We know that Carmen powerfully resonates with listeners and we are excited to work with Rico in driving both ratings and revenue from Carmen."

"CMG is an innovative company with exceptional programmers, and I am thrilled to work with them as Carmen entertains more listeners across the Sunshine State," added Skyview Networks VP, Content Development and Syndication Raul "Rico" Colindres and creator of "Carmen's Calls."

"Carmen is a unique and beloved character who generates strong listener recall," said Skyview Networks President & COO Steve Jones. "Carmen works across different formats and can be integrated into any daypart as part of an existing show or a stand-alone feature."
