Laura Lee, former WWCD (CD92.9)/Columbus, OH PD, is joining Woodward Community Media Classic Rock WAPL/Appleton, WI as morning show co-host.
She joins Andrew “Cutter” Puyleart, who has been doing the morning show solo since Rick McNeal retired due to health issues. (BMM 7/15)
Lee was PD/midday host until WWCD went dark earlier this year.
“Cutter,” who has been part of WAPL’s morning show since April 2021, said, “I’m excited to have someone here to truly help take this legendary radio station into the future with me in the mornings. Laura knows the music and understands the people, plus she’s willing to put up with me, so that’s a good start.”
Lee said, “I’m glad I never got rid of my 32oz Truckers Mega Mug for coffee last time I did mornings. I haven’t had to wake up this early in a long time but I’m incredibly pumped to be joining the famed WAPL and looking forward to teaming up with Cutter for a new era of WAPL mornings. He knows the market; the audience loves him, and he’s a pretty pleasant individual even at 5 in the morning.”
Joe Marroe, WAPL Brand Manager, added, “Laura lives the WAPL lifestyle. She loves concerts, hockey, and football, specifically the Vikings, but I hope we can change that. Laura and Cutter have so many ideas. I cannot wait to see them come to life on the air.”
Lee’s previous career stops include Salisbury, MD, Bakersfield, CA., Milwaukee, and Tampa, plus a stint with the South Carolina Stingrays minor league hockey team.
