Pulley-Hayes is currently VP of radio at CPB, where she has worked since 2005. She will join WMFE|WMFV Jan. 13.
“WMFE|WMFV provides an important service to Central Florida, and this is an incredible opportunity to build upon the quality journalism and programming this organization delivers to the community,” Pulley-Hayes said in a press release. “I am very excited to join this team and continue working to enhance the local service that engages audiences across platforms.”
