Connoisseur Media's News/Talk WICC-AM (600) Bridgeport, CT adds "The Lisa Wexler Show," weekdays from 10am-12noon beginning August 5. Wexler's show has aired throughout Fairfield County since 2006 when it first debuted on WSTC/WNLK. Most recently, the show has been heard on WGCH-AM (1490). Wexler has won numerous awards, including the prestigious Gracie Award for best News/Talk Local Broadcast. She's also won the Connecticut Press Award, the Best of Gold Coast award several years in a row, and the Best of Westchester award.

Lisa Wexler is an attorney admitted to the Connecticut and New York Bars. She is currently the Westport/Weston Probate Judge, having served in this capacity since 2013.

Wexler said, "I am thrilled to be joining the legendary WICC AM 600. The WICC audience is incredibly knowledgeable and engaged. I will be discussing the issues that occupy our thoughts and bringing to the airwaves the people that influence our lives. Our emphasis will be on what is happening right here in our own communities. Listeners are encouraged to call into the show to air their opinions and provide their own perspectives."

She added, "Coming to WICC is a great honor. In some ways, it also feels like a full circle. WICC is owned by Connoisseur Media, a locally-owned and operated company. Many of my colleagues there are people with whom I worked earlier in my career. They are the best professionals in the business and I am so delighted to be working with them again."

"Lisa Wexler is a great addition to our live and local line-up on WICC600," remarked WICC Program Director Danny Lyons. He continued, "I know our listeners will look forward to hearing Lisa's perspective on the hottest topics of the day, as well as sharing their own views with Lisa. The show will no doubt have a positive impact on Southern Connecticut."
