Tina Sawyer is the local host of Morning Edition on WCMU. She joined WCMU in November, 2022.
She has been on the air in central and northern Michigan since 1988. And although originally from Houghton Lake, MI, she has called Mount Pleasant her home since 1992...and is very much a "northern" gal!
She loves spending time with her two adult daughters, watching musical theatre and movies, improv comedy, walking in nature and visiting historical sites.
She also enjoys coffee — lots and lots of coffee — and, of course, talking on the radio... to YOU!
She says her favorite part of being on the air at WCMU is being the first to bring you the news of the day and help you start each day (hopefully) with a positive moment and a smile.
