Today, she broadcasts a daily, call-in advice show from a custom-built radio booth in Borders’ largest bookstore in downtown Boston.

She continues to produce this show in partnership with Borders – 11am – 12 pm EST Monday-Friday.
In 2009, Mel signed on with Greater Media on WTKK Boston Talks 96.9 FM and launched The Mel Robbins Show on Saturday mornings. Under the direction of Program Director Grace Blazer, Mel’s unique lifestyle, commentary and advice talk show has become very popular. In less than one year, WTKK has changed Mel’s time slot, added an hour (making it a 3 hour show) and has her as the regular fill-in for their most popular weekday host. In just one year, she has accumulated an impressive list of advertising sponsors and Time Spent Listening (TSL) ratings for her show are among the highest of any show in Boston.
