About the Founders:
In 2018, Kelly Collis and Tommy McFLY became the first independent broadcasters to host their show and own their content exclusively on an all-digital platform. After two successful years developing, producing, and delivering broad-reaching content to a growing audience as well as the results sponsors want, the next logical step was to expand their channel to stream a greater variety of unique and dynamic voices.

BIOGRAPHIES:
Tommy McFLY has made a name for himself as a DC media ambassador. Since he arrived in the nation’s capital in 2006, he - in no particular order – was the youngest person to host a morning radio show in Washington; during the Obama Administration became the first person in history to emcee the White House Easter Egg Roll; and created the Best Buddies Prom, which raised more than $1 million in five years. Whether he’s co-hosting “The Tommy + Kelly Show” on Real.Fun.DC. or sharing the stories of the people and communities that make Washington tick on NBC4, his love for his adopted city shines through. His commitment to social responsibility began at age five, when he helped his great grandmother pinch perogies for the local firehouse bazaar, and he continues to use his microphone to encourage others to get involved, give back, and pay it forward. His awards include a 2019 Capital Emmy for his coverage of the Nationals’ World Series, a 2018 EPIC Award for Social Media Content, and the key to the city of Herndon, Virginia.
