Joan Hamburg

Joan Hamburg is a radio personality, broadcasting for station WOR, 710 AM, in New York since the early 1970s. She grew up on Long Island and attended Barnard College before embarking on an advertising career.

Hamburg is extremely celebrity, society, and show-business-conscious, and now bills herself as "America's foremost shopper and celebrity interviewer." The orientation of her broadcasts has shifted dramatically over the years to the latter emphasis. cite web|url=http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C05EEDA1039F93AA35754C0A9669C8B63|title=New York Times|work="New York Radio's Folksy Powerhouse"|accessdate=2007-12-18] Carol Channing, a regular listener, once called Joan Hamburg "The Yellow Pages of The World". Though she may take calls dealing with consumer problems (defective product, bad service, etc.), her consumer help now focuses mostly on finding the "right" restaurant, show, or vacation, whereas in her earlier years, it was often about finding good discounts on particular items, or finding a great store with great prices. cite web|url=http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C0CE6D7163AF934A15751C0A962958260|title=New York Times|work="Making it Work;The Shopper's Friend"|accessdate=2007-12-18|] The highlights from Hamburg’s daily show are put together for a two-hour nationally syndicated weekend show, distributed by the WOR Radio Network.

Joan frequently broadcasts from her favorite places instead of a studio -- Sardi's, the Hamptons, Canyon Ranch, The Villages, Florida [ cite web|url=http://www.thevillagesdailysun.com/articles/2007/12/10/news/news03.txt|title=The Villages Daily Sun|work="Joan Hamburg Show will broadcast live from Lake Sumter Landing"|accessdate=2007-12-18] and so on. She works closely with her production staff to provide a seamless "I can find anything for you" expertise, sometimes discernible in a drawn-out "let me see" pause.
Her son is screenwriter John Hamburg ("Meet The Parents", "Meet The Fockers" and "Along Came Polly)". [ cite web|url=http://www.forward.com/articles/4168/|title=The Jewish Daily Forward|work="Meet the Man Who Gave Film Audiences ‘The Fockers’"|accessdate=2007-12-18]
