Mary DeSilva’s Summary

I've been around the radio dial for a while now - since 1979 when I played "Soft Rock and Smooth Jazz" weekend overnights at WDJF in Westport, CT, now known as WEBE 108. Since then I've entertained the Stamford/Norwalk, CT and Westchester, NY, radio markets with music, traffic, news, weather, and warm and friendly, feel-good banter. You've heard me on several radio and cable tv spots around the region, "on-hold" with several tri state area businesses and retailers, and you've seen me as a guest on News 12 Westchester's Daytime Edition.

You can hear me on 103.9 WFAS, Monday - Saturday 3 to 7pm, online at:

Mary DeSilva’s Specialties:

In addition to radio broadcasting, I write, produce and voice radio spots and have voiced several radio and regional TV spots, narrations, radio imaging, and corporate and industrial voice overs. I also develop radio programs and train future broadcasters.
