Laura Daniels

I'm from Jamestown, NY, and I started in radio in Albany in 1998. I've been with Townsquare Media Buffalo since November, 2012. I love music and I love to entertain. My favorite thing about Buffalo?

There are far too many. “Caddyshack”, “Dumb & Dumber”, “Star Wars”, anything NOT “The Notebook”…

One of my favorite sights as a kid was rolling up on a birthday party or school function, seeing moms and dads lugging that signature yellow 5 gallon drum with the red top, because you knew you were in store for non-stop, all-you-can-po
