Mary Lucia
Mary Lucia, afternoon host at Triple A KCMP (The Current)/Minneapolis-St. Paul, has announced her plans to leave the station after 17+ years with the station. She was one of The Current’s initial hires announced ahead of its launch in January of 2005.
In a statement, Lucia said, “Starting The Current 17 years ago was a joy.” She plans to continue voice work in the future via voices.com.
Lucia’s final on-air shift on The Current will be Thursday, April 21, from 2-6 pm.
“She has long been more than a DJ to music fans,” says Program Director Jim McGuinn. “She’s been a friend, playing her favorite records and opening her heart to our listeners, who have responded with deep appreciation. She’s been recognized as City Pages’ Reader’s Choice Best DJ nearly every year of The Current’s existence, and been at the mic for hundreds of memorable sessions, conversations, and interviews. She created and hosted the live event and talk show FakeBook, crafted hundreds of ‘Listen to Looch’ videos, and after approximately 3,867 weekday 4 pm ‘No Apologies’ picks, fans and friends have a few days left to celebrate and honor Mary’s work at The Current.”
