Mistress Carrie said, “I am so grateful to Mike Ekblom and Alex Byrne and the entire staff at Lazer for welcoming me with open arms. Much of this team has been together for years, and I’m honored to join their ranks! I can’t wait to reconnect with listeners that may already be familiar with my show, and I look forward to winning over new listeners by making Mornings with Mistress Carrie THE place for Everything That Rocks! Springfield… will you be my Valentine?”
WLZX Program Director Alex Byrne commented, “Carrie will be an incredible addition to Lazer and Springfield morning radio. She is one of the most influential voices in rock music in New England, and brings a tremendous level of knowledge, experience, and personality to Lazer. We’re thrilled to begin a new era in mornings at Lazer 99.3 & 98.5, and Western Mass rock fans should be excited to wake up with Mistress Carrie each weekday.”
Saga Springfield VP/GM Mike Ekblom added, “Mistress Carrie’s reputation precedes her, and we’re very excited to welcome her to Springfield and to the team at Lazer. It’s a perfect fit.”
