Cindy Vero grew up in Northern New Jersey minutes away from New York City and holds a degree in Broadcast Journalism from Rowan University. Cindy got the radio ball rolling when she snagged an internship at WYNY (which is now KTU.) Cindy worked in promotions and was also a phone and board op. Cindy then branched off and started working weekends jocking at WTBQ-AM in Florida, NY and also freelanced at MTV News. From there she worked part time job at Shadow Traffic and WVNJ-FM in Teaneck, NJ all while still working weekends at WTBQ-AM. Cindy continued to learn as much as she could about the world of Radio and became an incredible multi-tasker along the way!
While at Shadow, Cindy also jocked on-air during the midday's and handled production at WBRW-AM in Bridgewater, NJ. and later on at WJHR-AM in Flemington, NJ. After juggling a few jobs, Cindy moved on to Metro Traffic in New York where she honed her broadcasting skills. After Metro, Cindy went to Traffic.Com and serviced the Tri-State with traffic and news. At this time she also did fill-in, overnights and weekends at WDHA-FM. While Cindy was working at one of the stations she was covering in NYC she was approached to join a morning show on KTU and has been a staple at the station ever since!
Cindy also hosts a show Sunday mornings at 7 called "KTU Cares" where she has the honor of interviewing local celebrities and hometown heroes who are giving back to their communities! Cindy continues to be one of the busiest women in radio and has done countless appearances and charity events. In her spare time, Cindy does voice-over work, rides motorcycles with her husband Tony and loves to spend time with her rescue dogs Ernie and Melba and their kitten, Charlie. Cindy can also talk all day about shoes!
NBA star, Jerry Walker and Jersey City Police Officer Ray Regalado are in studio to discuss Team Walker. Team Walker was founded in 1996 by Jersey City natives Jerry and Jasper Walker, who aspired to give Jersey City children the same after school programs they enjoyed while growing up. After graduating from St. Anthony High School and helping the Friars win a mythical national championship, Jerry enrolled at Seton Hall University and was instrumental in helping lead the Pirates Men’s Basketball team to three trips to the NCAA Tournament and also played for the NETS. The Team Walker vision is to create a program that would provide safe and constructive alternatives to the negative influences that plague inner city youth through a structured academic and recreational environment. This helps the children focus on teamwork, responsibility, persistence and unity.
