Former 'Showgram' producer lands co-host gig on WNCN

Mike Morse, a former executive producer and on-air personality for G105's "Bob and the Showgram" radio program, is joining "My Carolina Today" on WNCN as Valonda Calloway's new co-host.

Morse left the "Showgram" in the summer of 2012, after nine years on staff. He previously worked for WRAL's Mix 101.5 radio station, becoming the executive producer of "The Bill and Sheri Show" in 1999. He left that station for "The Showgram" in 2003.

Morse and "Showgram" host Bob Dumas were involved in some controversy in 2008 when an intern was teased on-air about her upcoming wedding to a Lumbee Indian. But Morse was always seen as the nice guy on the show, typically playing the easygoing sidekick who offered contrast to Dumas' more strident persona.

Originally from Virginia, Morse lives in Cary with his wife and two children.

He replaces Sharon Delaney, who stepped down May 10 after three years on the show to devote more time to her family, according to a WNCN press release.

"My Carolina Today" airs weekday mornings at 11 on WNCN.

For Easter: Local deviled egg master on TV

If you need some inspiration in the Traditional Easter Foods department, local deviled egg master (or is it mistress?) Debbie Moose will be showing off some kicked-up versions of those spring delicacies Thursday morning on NBC-17's "My Carolina Today."

Moose, an award-winning local author, will talk to host Volanda Calloway about the secret to hard-cooked eggs and why deviled eggs are so popular (because they're delicious?). 

Familiar faces return on "My Carolina Today"

This morning at 11, NBC 17 is trying something new: a local morning show called "My Carolina Today."

Sharon Delaney McCloud, who was an anchor on the channel's news until 2006; Valonda Calloway, who was a morning and noon anchor on WRAL until 2009; and Page Crawford, a former NBC 17 web reporter, are the hosts.

But although it's three ladies of varying demographics, McCloud says don't think "The View."
