Hello there and allow me to introduce myself. I’m Ann Kelly, and it’s my pure joy to be starting every day with you on The Dove Morning Show. Taking over from someone as legendary as Dick Ring is an amazing opportunity, and I’m already having a blast! For everyone that has already emailed and called, I thank you.

Just to tell you a little bit about myself, I’ve worked for Cox Media Group here in Tampa Bay for almost 24 years on the air, and I come from suburban Cleveland. My hometown is a little place called Garfield Heights, and I’m one of five kids (one older brother and three sisters). My passions are many, but if you check in to Kelly’s Kitchen on our web site, you can tell what my absolute favorites are – baking rules! But I love the creative side of life, and that can range from home improvement to crafts. You name it and I’ve probably tried it.

I’m so lucky to live in such a beautiful state, and walks in our many parks and along the water are what I live for. Please feel free to drop me an email at ann.kelly@coxmg.com and introduce yourself. Let’s get to know each other. I look forward to sharing many mornings to come!
