 Faces of the Front: Meet 94.7 Fresh FM's "The Tommy Show" |
 
Each weekday morning on 94.7 Fresh FM's "The Tommy Show," Tommy McFLY, Kelly Collis, and Jen Richer wake up the DMV with laughs, light-hearted conversation, and most importantly today's fresh music! While these local celebrities have been in the radio business for quite some time, they just recently moved to the Capitol Riverfront neighborhood with parent company CBS Radio.
Whether they're on air, taking a coffee break at Canal Park, hanging out at the VIDA Penthouse Pool Club, or cheering on their favorite team at Nationals Park, Tommy, Kelly, and Jen are constantly enjoying their new neighborhood. We sat down with the crew in the 94.7 Fresh FM studio to hear more about their Capitol Riverfront favorites and the latest radio station happenings. 
How would you describe the Capitol Riverfront to friends and visitors?
Jenn: It's a super fun neighborhood where there's something for everybody: great food and a ballpark with great games. It's a nice mix of old and new.
Tommy: The Capitol Riverfront is an excellent cross section of DC because you have the government, the Navy Yard, and so many awesome new restaurant concepts.
