Producer Sarah Adams is co-host of Inside Central
and the producer and host of Michigan Memories.
Sarah started working in radio at age 15, as co-host and writer
for a children's radio program. By age 16, she was one of
the station’s on-air personalities. As a student at CMU,
she worked as a host, reporter, news anchor, and producer,
for many programs on student-run TV station MHTV, and was
part of the CNN student bureau. She originally joined WCMU-TV
as a camera operator and producer of the Inside Central segment
"President's Corner" and was hired full-time in
2002.
Sarah has her Bachelor of Applied Arts in Broadcast and Cinematic
Arts from Central Michigan University and is working on a Master
of Arts degree in Broadcast Management in her "spare"
time.
Sarah’s job takes her on the road a lot, which is fine
with her! ”I love being on the road for the Michigan
programming that we do,” says Sarah. “Dave Martin
(photographer/ editor) and I not only get to visit beautiful
places, enjoy local hospitality, experience one adventure
after another, and have a great time traveling all over the
state, but we get to meet some of the most amazing, kind,
dedicated people I've ever known--that's the best part of
what we do.”
Sarah was born and raised in metro-Detroit, but spent half
of her life in the U.P. (her father was a pastor so the family
moved around a lot). She enjoys spending time with her family
and hanging out with friends all over the country. Sarah also
loves singing (she is a vocalist with a musical group at her
church), watching old movies, painting with watercolors, sketching,
reading historical fiction and biographies, and her cat, Ellie. |

When
Steve Smith isn’t on the air co-hosting Inside
Central, he serves as director of broadcast media
relations for CMU's Public Relations and Marketing office.
He came to CMU after a long career in radio and TV news, most
recently as news director and operations manager at TV 9 &
10, Cadillac-Traverse City. In fact, he has interviewed every
sitting president from Gerald Ford through the first George
Bush and every Michigan Governor from G. Mennen Williams through
Jennifer Granholm.
Steve has a B.A. in Broadcast and Cinematic Arts and Journalism
from CMU, but claims to have taken a number of courses at
the school of hard knocks!
It is not uncommon to see Steve running through Mt. Pleasant
– literally! He is president elect of the Mount Pleasant
Striders and competed in the Boston Marathon in April 2004.
He also volunteers as a Big Brother for Big Brothers Big Sisters
of Isabella County. Steve is a native of Michigan and lives
with his wife, Marcine, Lacey the yellow lab and Elliot the
cat. |
