Leamy Wakes Up NYC On WCBS-FM
• Audacy welcomes New York market veteran Anne Marie “Annie” Leamy as the new morning co-host on Classic Hits WCBS-FM/New York. Leamy will plug in across from Brand Manager John Foxx to create… wait for it… Foxx & Annie in the Morning, beginning February 13.
“Annie is no stranger to NYC radio, and I’m excited to welcome her back through the iconic WCBS-FM brand,” Foxx. “Annie has the ability to relate and build a community of loyal fans instantly. She will bring a lot of energy, a deep skill set, and a ‘whatever it takes attitude’ that really sets her up for success in this role.”
Leamy brings with her 16 years of morning drive experience in the Tri-state Area, the last three years anchoring mornings at iHeartMedia AC WRNQ (Q92.1)/Hudson Valley. Before that, she notably co-hosted morning drive on the late WPLJ/New York for six years. Leamy earlier co-hosted mornings at Pamal Top 40 WSPK (K104.7)/Poughkeepsie, and she began her career with Clear Channel Top 40 WPKF (96.1 Kiss FM)/Hudson Valley.
“I’m not sure I have the right words to express my sincere excitement and joy about teaming up with John Foxx to rock the airwaves at WCBS-FM,” said Leamy. “John is someone I respect tremendously and is the biggest reason I took this leap. What a thrill to be on a station my late father adored. I’m incredibly grateful to all those who supported my rollercoaster journey to this point. Huge thank you to John, Jim Ryan and Chris Oliviero for this incredible opportunity.”
