#InstructorSpotlight ?? #AlumniSpotlight Meet Anthony Harley, a proud 2008 graduate of Ohio Media School (formally Ohio Center for Broadcasting) and the owner/operator of Friends of Harley. With a background as an On Air Personality, Technical Producer, and Broadcast Engineer at Urban One, Inc, Anthony is a seasoned professional in the industry. Enrolling at Ohio Media School was a strategic decision for Anthony so that he could learn from industry professionals. Now, after fifteen years and in the role of Technical Producer, he continues to apply the skills taught by his instructors in his daily routine. With aspirations to one day win the NAB Marconi award and be inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame, Anthony shares valuable advice with current students: never underestimate the value of networking, strive for excellence, and seize every opportunity as a potential game-changer. Beginning his radio journey at Ohio Media School in February ‘07, Anthony - also known as Tone Harley Boy - embarked on internships at Time Warner, TV 20, and DBunk studios before finding his home at Radio One. From producing morning shows to hosting The After Hour Spot on Z107.9 WENZ, as well as producing projects like the BET Awards transmission, Anthony's career continues to flourish. Reflecting on his experience at Ohio Media School, Tone emphasizes the importance of seizing opportunities and continual learning. Today, as an important member of the Urban One, Inc team - producing for the Ricky Smiley Morning Show and serving as an on-site broadcast engineer - Tone remains deeply rooted in the industry. Proudly giving back to his alma mater as a radio instructor at Ohio Media School, Tone's wealth of knowledge and his own success story inspire students to strive for greatness as they prepare for their own careers.

#GraduateSpotlight ?? A Versatile Media Pro Meet LaRonee B., the dynamic owner/operator of DJ Snacks and a recent graduate at Ohio Media School, Cincinnati Campus. LaRonee was drawn to the campus's setup and teaching style, which motivated her to enroll in pursuit of enhancing her multimedia skills. As a versatile media professional, LaRonee shines in various roles. From being an OnAir Personality and Trivia host for Sporkle and RezEvents - Entertainment and Event Engagement, to a TV Host for CincyBlackTravelGuide.com (CincyEats Section) and co-hosting Closing the Health Gap events, she is making waves in the industry. Additionally, LaRonee excels as a voiceover artist on Voices; winner of the Great American Speakoff 2025 Gold Ticket, and is Co-Founder of Scoopz Radio. Embracing collaboration with both peers and industry professionals, LaRonee’s goal is to be recognized as "a fashionable traveling foodie, jamming across the world!" Her advice to current students is to stay curious as continuous learning fuels growth. Originally hailing from Kansas City, Missouri, with a musical upbringing, LaRonee's early passion for music led her to play the violin and piano at age 10. Eventually relocating to Ohio, her first voiceover opportunity came while working with Hyatt Place Cincinnati Northeast in 2007. Despite facing personal setbacks and challenges which included health issues and heartbreaks, LaRonee took charge of her life. She bravely lost 300 pounds, and overcame paralysis that occurred from a work related injury. Building a healthy lifestyle, LaRonee was also determined to unleash her talents and flourish, and that is what led her to Ohio Media School. Now a graduate of two programs, LaRonee has built a strong base of followers. Known for her singing prowess and love for food, LaRonee has ventured into makeup tutorials on TikTok and is well known as DJSnacks The Remix. Finding success by engaging her fans through food, entertainment, and song, LaRonee continues to redefine entertainment, and is truly enjoying her journey! We invite you to connect with LaRonee B. and follow her on Instagram @dj_snacks_theremix #learnfromaprotobeapro #onair #producer #entertainer #foodie #fashionista #socialmediamanager John P.
