Former longtime 1010 WINS anchor Sandi Klein died after a lengthy battle with cancer Friday; she was 73. Most recently, Klein was hosting a podcast called “Sandi Klein’s Conversations with Creative Women.”
“She would be on the air, and I would come in to take over and so there was that transition,” said former co-worker Larry Kanter. “We would just be chatting so much we would almost forget to do what we were supposed to do.”
According to the station’s website, Klein spent nearly 20 years anchoring the midday/afternoon drive shift at the station, first going on air in 1993. She began her career at WKTU-FM. She went on to anchor the morning drive on WYNY and WPLJ with both Rocky Allen and later with Scott and Todd.
Klein reportedly became stricken with carcinoid syndrome which caused a variety of signs and symptoms. She entered hospice on Oct 8 and passed away on Oct. 14.
