Audacy New York has promoted Susan Richard to the position of top-of-the-hour morning news anchor on 1010 WINS. Richard will become the third person to anchor morning drive and the first woman to hold this role in the station’s 58-year history. Audacy will be making further announcements regarding the morning team in the upcoming weeks.
A native New Yorker, Richard has been with 1010 WINS since 1998. Prior to that, she served as the Program Director at WFAS, a weekend personality at K-JOY 98.3 on Long Island, and a freelance News Anchor at WQCD and New Jersey 101.5 (WKXW). Richard co-hosts 1010 WINS’ 4th of July coverage with Larry Mullins and provides news on NEW 102.7 (WNEW) each weekday morning.
“Nothing says New York like 1010 WINS, and as both a life-long New Yorker and 25-year WINS veteran, I am thrilled and grateful to be the first woman chosen to fill this key on-air role,” said Richard. “The news watch never stops, and I look forward to serving our listeners in the city I know and love with the continuing commitment to broadcast excellence embodied by our entire staff.”
“Not only is Susan a quintessential New Yorker and a brilliant anchor and journalist, but she will also forever serve as an inspiration and beacon of empowerment for all women who aspire to reach the highest on-air levels in the industry,” said Ivan Lee, Brand Manager, 1010/92.3 WINS. “We are beyond thrilled for her and this history-making moment.”
