on-air personality

Live show presenter

An on-air personality is someone who appears on radio or television broadcasts—a host, anchor, DJ, or commentator whose voice or face the audience recognizes.

The term emphasizes their public-facing role rather than behind-the-scenes work: She started as a producer but became an on-air personality.

Also called on-air talent.
