Experience

Elaine joined the WGUC on-air team in 2016 after working on the Triple-A format WNKU for several years. Before her 11:00 a.m.- 4:00 p.m. shift, Elaine worked as a part-time host on WVXU and WGUC.  She has performed in Cincinnati bands since the 1980s, including Elaine & the Biscaynes, Lee’s Junction Big Band, The Bromwell-Diehl Band and Boutique. She appears annually with the Pillar Award-winning benefit Suits That Rock concerts and often hosts area orchestral, choral and dramatic performances. Elaine has had a lifelong love affair with Cincinnati. She is deeply grateful for the opportunity to share the world’s most beautiful music with one of the world’s most beautiful cities.
