Deana Wright hails from Madison, but has worked in several major markets including Detroit, Philadelphia, Los Angeles (where Stevie Wonder was her boss),  and New York.(at the #1 radio station in the country). Deana was bitten by the radio bug early and was offered her first job while attending Edgewood High School. She attended the University of Wisconsin, where she majored in Communications and Journalism. After college, she decided to make the leap from radio to television by accepting an Anchor/Reporter position at an NBC affiliate in Duluth, Minnesota. Years later Deana made the decision to return to her "first love": radio.

Crystal McKenzie has made her way to Madison via Indianapolis, Indiana, where she had been co-hosting the morning show at WKLU 101.9.  Indy is her hometown, so there's racing in her blood - and fast cars in her past.  As a matter of fact, Crystal's first car was a 1972 Barracuda! She has worked in cities such as Orlando, Sacramento, and Raleigh, NC. She loves the idea of theater of the mind, which is why she has chosen radio as her life long career.

 Amy has spent the better part of the last decade working as a broadcast journalist, first as an anchor/reporter at WCBI-TV in Columbus, Miss., then as an investigative reporter at WQAD-TV in Moline, Ill. Her stories have earned a number of professional awards, including Best Spot News, Best Feature and Best News Franchise from the Associated Press. Before turning her attention to journalism, Amy worked in entertainment television in Los Angeles on the short-lived BeastMaster syndicated series and the slightly more successful Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda. When she's not anchoring the news, Amy is a busy mom of two. She enjoys painting, running, biking and exploring all the great things the Madison area has to offer with her wonderful husband and kids.

Lindsay Adjavor is a native of southern Wisconsin. As an undergrad student at UW-La Crosse, she spent many evenings DJing blues music from the basement of the central cafeteria, with campus radio. As a Master's student with the University of London - SOAS, she spent even more time in a very small room, playing music and speaking at a microphone. She finds the WTDY news room spacious and is quite content. Running, reading, playing the piano and traveling are a few of her favorite activities. She has lived in Ghana and England believes the world is too interesting to stay in only one place.
