Leslie Marshall was born Leslie Fletcher in Massachusetts, USA, on October 2, 1972. She commenced her broadcasting career as a radio news reporter in Boston. She then worked in radio and television in Miami, Florida. During her time in Miami, she managed news, traffic, weather, and disc jockey duties. Her career path shifted toward talk radio after she was discovered by a program director while hosting a nostalgic music program. She joined WNWS in Miami, where she hosted a show for three years, laying the groundwork for her extensive career in talk radio.
Marshall’s career progressed with moves to WGR in Buffalo and KPRC in Houston, where she hosted mid-day shows. A significant turning point in her career occurred in 1992 when she replaced Tom Snyder on the ABC Satellite Radio Network, becoming the youngest person ever to be nationally syndicated on radio. Her program aired for three years on over 200 stations nationwide. She was also the first woman to host an issues-oriented program nationwide. Following her time with ABC, she worked at WLS-FM in Chicago, hosting an afternoon drive talk show, and later at KGO radio in San Francisco and KHTK/Hot Talk in Sacramento. She also hosted “Bay Talk” on KRON-TV, the local NBC affiliate in San Francisco.
After returning to Chicago, Leslie co-hosted “Beyond the Beltway” on WGR-TV. She later moved to Los Angeles, hosting talk shows on KFI, KLSX, and KABC radio on weekends, and was part of KLAC’s inception as a talk station. When KLAC changed formats, Marshall hosted her own show for a year on WWKB in Buffalo, New York, before becoming nationally syndicated once again. Beyond radio, Marshall has been a commentator on national television since 2001, appearing on Fox News, CNBC’s ‘Kudlow & Company’, and CNN’s ‘Showbiz Tonight’. She holds an undergraduate degree from Northeastern University and a master’s in Broadcast Journalism from Emerson College.
