Susan Richard is elevated to top-of-the-hour morning news anchor on WINS-AM & FM in New York. Richard will be the third person to anchor morning drive and the first woman to hold the position in the station's 58-year history. A native New Yorker, Richard joined 1010 WINS in 1998. Before that, she was the Program Director at WFAS-FM, a weekend personality at K-JOY on Long Island and a freelance news anchor at WQCD and New Jersey 101.5.

"Nothing says New York like 1010 WINS, and as both a life-long New Yorker and 25-year WINS veteran, I am thrilled and grateful to be the first woman chosen to fill this key on-air role," said Richard. "The news watch never stops, and I look forward to serving our listeners in the city I know and love with the continuing commitment to broadcast excellence embodied by our entire staff."

"Not only is Susan a quintessential New Yorker and a brilliant anchor and journalist, but she will also forever serve as an inspiration and beacon of empowerment for all women who aspire to reach the highest on-air levels in the industry," said WINS Brand Manager Ivan Lee. "We are beyond thrilled for her and this history-making moment."

Richard also has voiceover and narration credits for ABC's "All My Children," ABC Radio Network and GrassRoots Environmental Education Video. Since 2009, she has hosted the video web show "All for Animals," which supports animal rescue, and she has served as an emcee for gala fundraisers for Animal Care Centers of NYC and elsewhere. She co-hosts 1010 WINS' 4th of July coverage with Larry Mullins and provides news on NEW 102.7 (WNEW-FM) each weekday morning.
