Career
Elliker hosted her own morning radio show on WBAL in Baltimore from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. starting in 2007,[1] but later moved to afternoons once the station went to a news format in the afternoons and moved their veteran talk show host Ron Smith to mornings. Elliker then hosted "The Afternoon News Journal with Shari Elliker" through August 2011, when WBAL chose not to renew her contract.[2]
She is the recipient of the "Outstanding Talk Show" awards from the Associated Press, Chesapeake Region for 2007 and 2008 and has received two "Achievement in Radio" Awards.
