Manny the Movie Guy Celebrates 20 Years with NBC Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley
My how time flies! I didn’t think I would last this long when we moved in the Coachella Valley on December of 2003. I was hired by KMIR, then owned by Journal Broadcast Group, to head its Marketing Department. But when I went to MIX 100.5 to partner with them for the event of the year – the series finale of “Friends,” we got to talking about movies and my eyes opened wide and my mouth did not stop spewing about my love for cinema! Hence, not only did the powers-that-be at MIX 100.5 decided to work with KMIR for our “Friends” event, they also offered me their film critic slot for the morning show with Michael Storm. When I went back to KMIR, both our News Director and General Manager said if I am heard on the radio, then I should be seen on TV too. So on April 30, 2004, I aired my first review ever and it’s for the Jack Black comedy “Envy.” After that, a star was born HA!
