Chicago Radio: Suzanne Nance Joining Classical WFMT

Suzanne Nance
Suzanne Nance, the popular host of Maine Public Broadcasting Network's “Morning Classical” radio show, is leaving for Chicago, the network announced Thursday.

According to pressherald.com, she has accepted a job with the commercial classical radio station WMFT. She will remain with Maine Public Broadcasting Network through August.

Nance is MPBN’s director of music, performance and public affairs. Since 2007, she has served as host of the morning classical music show, heard across Maine. Her show is popular with classical audiences because of her mix of music, guests and personal stories.

“Although we will miss Suzanne’s enthusiasm and passion,” MBPN CEO and president Mark Vogelzang said in a statement, “we also know that is she is leaving MPBN for a new adventure with a great institution in the third-largest media market with a national classical broadcasting presence, so we may very well still hear her on a regular basis down the line.”

A soprano with an international singing career, Nance has earned a large and loyal following because of her spry personality and her ability to engage listeners. She is widely considered a rising star in the classical music world because of her career in radio and her stage presence.
