Mistress Carrie Lazer-Focused On Springfield
• Saga Active Rock WLZX (Lazer 99.3 & 98.5)/Springfield, MA is excited to announce that longtime New England radio icon Mistress Carrie will be joining the team as new morning show host starting — appropriately — on Valentine’s Day.
The pride of Leominster, MA, and best known and loved for her 22-year reign on the late, legendary WAAF/Boston, Carrie is currently the host of The Mistress Carrie Podcast, Cocktails In The War Room, and The Mistress Carrie Radio Show, and now adds mornings at Lazer 99.3 & 98.5 to her already busy schedule.
“Carrie will be an incredible addition to Lazer and Springfield morning radio,” said Lazer PD Alex Byrne. “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.”
Mike Ekblom, VP/GM of Saga’s Springfield Rocks Media Group, echoed that sentiment, commenting, “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.”
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?”
• Concurrent with Mistress Carrie’s debut, Pat Kelly, who had been handling Lazer morning duties on an interim basis, will now fully focus on his afternoon drive spot on Classic Rock sister sister WAQY (Rock 102).
