Since first stepping onto the airwaves at WLIZ, West Palm Beach on his 18th birthday in 1972, 4 years at his hometown radio Station WWCO, Waterbury, Danny has become a familiar and trusted voice across the state. His career has taken him to WAVZ and KC101 in New Haven to WTIC-FM in Hartford, and ultimately to WEBE in Fairfield County, where he has proudly held his post for an extraordinary 38 years and counting. His voice also reached far beyond Connecticut, broadcasting across 30+ states via 66 WNBC in New York City. A champion for community and philanthropy, Danny has led signature events such as WEBE’s Christmas Wish and KidsFest, and raised millions for organizations including the American Cancer Society, Easter Seals, Special Olympics, St. Vincent’s Hospital’s Swim Across the Sound, and especially the Ronald McDonald House of Connecticut, where he served as an early board member and remains a passionate supporter. Known as a gifted emcee, voice-over talent, and live event host, Danny has earned accolades both on and off the air, even winning a charity dance competition in support of Ronald McDonald House after recovering from triple bypass surgery. Beyond the microphone, Danny cherishes time with his partner Lynne Polino, their granddaughter Cecilia, son Justin, daughter-in-law Jules, and their dog Charlie. With his warmth, dedication, and unmistakable voice, Danny Lyons has not only entertained generations of listeners but also cemented his legacy as a true Connecticut institution.
