WEBE 108
Bridgeport (webe108.com)
WEBE 108 certainly knows how to keep Connecticut residents entertained throughout the day. Listeners have come to depend on the "WEBE WakeUp Morning Show with Storm N Norman and Marylee," the "Afternoon Drive at 5," Danny Lyons in the "Lyons' Den" and John Tesh at night. And with news, traffic, weather and music favorites from the past 30 years, it's hard to find a reason not to keep tuned to 108.
Local Radio Talk-Show Host
Faith Middleton
Connecticut Public Radio (wnpr.org)
It's no surprise that Faith Middleton continues to be a local favorite; she has talk radio down to an art and even has a Peabody Award to prove it. You can't miss the Food Schmooze-the Middleton scoop on restaurants, dinners, recipes and more. Other than that, you name it and she'll discuss it. Radio listeners tune in day after day to hear her take on art, celebrities, books, politics . . . and the list continues.
Local TV Weather

Morning Radio Show
KC101 Total Access with Michael Maze
Hamden (kc101.com)
When you're stuck in traffic, sometimes it helps to laugh. So that's why we love "Total Access," the perfect mix of music and light-hearted entertainment for your morning commute. Featuring kooky DJ Michael Maze, his sensible sidekick Chaz Kelly and traffic reporter Dollar Bill, the show includes fun celebrity interviews, contests and "Things You Need to Know," which features interesting local and national news stories.
