with Cumbre, Marie Lamb saying she now worx for WCNY where the show is
recorded. It's sister station to WAER Syracuse, her ex-employer. I expect
they are in same building with shared facilities.
Here she is on the WCNY staff list now,
"Marie Lamb is a Central New York native and a graduate of the Setnor
School of Music at Syracuse University. Marie hosted classical and opera
programs at WIKE-AM, at the former Eisenhower College in Seneca Falls. She
also hosted a daily jazz program for many years at WAER-FM in Syracuse.
Marie began at Classic FM in 2002 as a staff engineer, and she can often
be heard on the air as a substitute announcer."
with reduced image of her photo:
Strangely enough, no mention of her SW broadcasting.
