Melissa Benmark, Morning Edition Host

In just a few more days, WKAR's Melissa Benmark begins a new journey -- into retirement!

Melissa has been such an important part of our community since joining the station in 1989, and as your mid-Michigan host of Morning Edition for more than a decade.

If you've enjoyed waking up to Morning Edition with Melissa, or having her along on your morning commute...

Please take a moment to leave a comment below or on Facebook wishing Melissa well on her next adventure.

Local journalism matters—and it’s at risk.


WKAR brings you trusted news, without barriers—no paywalls, no corporate spin. But now, federal funding that helps make it all possible is on the chopping block. Your support is more important than ever. Stand up for independent journalism in mid-Michigan—make your gift today.
