Born and raised in Sault Ste. Marie, Blaine brings a mix of humor, heart, and hometown pride to the Motor City airwaves. He and his wife, Colleen, are proud parents to two grown kids, Bailey and Collin—and recently celebrated becoming grandparents to little Piper!

LAUREN CROCKER
Since she was a little girl, Lauren Crocker wanted to become a radio and television personality. “I was always fascinated with the Radio and TV hosts I grew up listening to and watching,” said Lauren. “I used to watch ‘Singled Out’ on MTV and dreamed of being the next Jenny McCarthy!”
After high-school, Lauren left her hometown of Cape Cod, Massachusetts to chase her dream job. First, she attended the prestigious Circle in The Square Theater School in New York City. Then later, she refined her abilities at the Connecticut School of Broadcasting.
With her gained skills, a bit of persistence, and her undeniable charm, Lauren launched a broadcasting career that’s been growing fast for 10-plus years strong. “I am fortunate to say I LOVE coming to work every day,” said Lauren. “I will continue to work hard, challenge myself, and grow in this industry I love so much!”
When not on the air, Lauren enjoys spending time with her family. She and her husband Michael are navigating life as new parents to their kiddos, Sylvester and Astoria and their fur kids, Lola and Brady. Lauren says new mom life is exhausting but she is having so much fun!
While she doesn’t have too much time for TV these days, when Lauren does get a minute here or there, she loves anything on BRAVO, a good documentary and any Hallmark Christmas movie. She also likes to stay active with regular runs and walks (now with a stroller), spin class, swimming, and yoga. Lauren loves a good skin care routine, anything pop culture, music and celeb gossip!
