Leslie on TV

Leslie G. Ungar is a host of the Time Warner TV show Civic Forum of the Air

The show airs in Northeastern Ohio in the Greater Cleveland, Akron, Canton, Mansfield, and Youngstown areas to over one million viewers.

"Almost live" for 30 minutes, Leslie hosts the show with local, regional, and national guests that bring light to topics of special interest. Civic Forum is presented by Time-Warner and the Shaw Jewish Center to bring the TV and radio audiences' awareness of issues, events, or people "happening" in the area.

This work in television and radio has given her the background to draw upon for her clients to develop strong messages and deliver them in a powerful, effective way. Because she works with clients on every aspect of communication from the development of vision and strategy, to the preparation and delivery of outstanding speeches, presentations, and media interviews, currently hosting a television show is a unique contributor to the value she brings clients and audiences.
