she arrived in Orlando in 1986 to take the midday slot at WBJW-FM
105.1 ("BJ105"). During the eight years she
held that position, surviving the format change to WOMX-FM
105.1 ("MIX105.1") in 1989, Tracey's daypart
was never ranked lower than second with the station's target demo. She
also produced and hosted "Community Tapestry", a public
affairs program on "BJ105" and "Mix 105.1" for several years. In 1994, she left to join
Dean

107.7 ("Magic 107.7") and remained there to
partner with Shawn Burke
until 1999. She participated in the planning of and co-hosted "Airlift

and the WESH-TV muscular dystrophy telethon and appeared on WKMG-TV’s
"Star-A-Thon '95" charity telethon . She co-hosted
"Magic After Dark", a thirty-minute music video series, on
