Cumulus Media Classic Hits 104.1 WHTT Buffalo NY will debut Laura Daniels in mornings from 6-10am starting Friday, August 19.
Daniels hosted mornings on Townsquare Media’s then AC “Mix 96.1” WMSX from 2012 to 2017. She has spent the past five years working in copywriting. Prior to coming to Buffalo, Daniels had previously spent 13 years in the Albany NY market with stints in multiple dayparts at CHR “Fly 92” WFLY, Rock “94 Rock” WRCZ, AC “B95.5” WYJB, and Smooth Jazz 104.9 WZMR.
She takes the morning slot that had been held by Bill Lacy for the past two decades until his retirement at the end of May.

A native Western New Yorker, Daniels was Morning Host for WMSX-FM in Buffalo from 2012-2017. Prior to that, she was a popular voice on Albany radio stations for 15 years, with on-air and Morning Host positions on stations including WZMR, WDVT, WFLY, and WYJB.

Jim Riley, Vice President/Market Manager, Cumulus Buffalo, said “We’re lucky to have found a talent like Laura to move into mornings on WHTT. She’s fun, she’s entertaining, and she’s Buffalo through and through. I think Classic Hits listeners will love her on the ride to work!”
Joe Siragusa, Operations Manager, Cumulus Buffalo, commented: “We’re thrilled to bring Laura’s energy and enthusiasm for Buffalo to Classic Hits 104.1! She’s a great talent that will help us write the next chapter of this great station.”
Laura Daniels remarked: “I’m so excited to return to my passion in an industry I spent more than half my life in! Radio personalities are the original “content creators” and radio is the last remaining free medium. Buffalo is my home, and I can’t wait to share real life, real stories and my own brand of fun ridiculousness with Western New York again.”
