Michael Calta has established a significant career in radio broadcasting, primarily in the Tampa Bay, Florida metropolitan area. He began his tenure as a Radio Talk Show Host with Cox Media Group in June 2006, a position he continues to hold. During his time with Cox Media Group, Calta became the iconic morning host for 102.5 The Bone, a station that has become deeply integrated into the local community. His program, “The Mike Calta Show,” is central to the station’s offerings, known for its “Real. Raw. Radio.” style of entertainment. This role has solidified his presence in the region’s media landscape, making him a recognized voice in local broadcasting for nearly two decades.

In March 2020, Calta expanded his reach into digital media with the launch of the “Calta and Kelly Podcast.” This podcast is a collaborative effort with veteran comedian Robert Kelly, and it is produced under the banner of “1000lbs Of Funny.” The podcast operates across New York and Tampa, extending Calta’s audience beyond traditional radio listeners. The success of his radio show has also led to several long-term partnerships, including a multi-year broadcast agreement between 102.5 The Bone and the Tampa Bay Lightning. This partnership designates the station as the official flagship carrier for the team’s games, further embedding Calta’s platform within the sports community. His ongoing commitment to both traditional radio and new media platforms demonstrates his adaptability and continuous engagement with his audience.
