Canty

MICHIGAN RADIO "STATESIDE" host CYNTHIA CANTY is retiring after an over 40 year career in radio and TV. CANTY, the former news anchor on JIM HARPER's show on WNIC, WDTX, and WMGC/DETROIT and host/reporter/anchor at WKBD-TV/DETROIT who has hosted "STATESIDE" for seven years, will leave the UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN's public radio network at the end of the year, and a press release from the station says that she plans "some well-deserved travel and time with family."
 
“I’ve spent my entire 40-year broadcasting career working for great radio and TV stations in SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN. The last seven of those years have been with MICHIGAN RADIO, creating STATESIDE. And I hit the jackpot,” said CANTY. “It’s allowed me to be a part of a passionate, hard-working, smart team whose goal every single day has been to put the spotlight on people and issues that are important to MICHIGAN. To tell MICHIGAN stories. The nearly 7,000 interviews I’ve done for STATESIDE will always be a source of pride. It’s a wonderful way to cap off a career. Now it’s time to turn my attentions to family, grandkids and our cottage in WEST CORK, IRELAND.”

“CYNDY CANTY's impact as host of STATESIDE on MICHIGAN RADIO for the past seven years can't be overestimated,” said MICHIGAN RADIO Executive Director/GM STEVE SCHRAM. “Her expertise and ease of leading interviews on the vast array of issues important to the citizens of MICHIGAN,  as well as a broad swath of arts, culture and lifestyle stories, has earned STATESIDE a loyal following of engaged listeners.  We are proud and privileged to have enjoyed CYNDY’s leadership as the host of STATESIDE.”
