On broadcast radio? Where does it run?

She is one of 3 original MTV veejays who rotate time on SiriusXM's 80's on 8 channel.
Her voice has been sounding quite hoarse and raspy. I hope she's OK.

Same voice she's had for years. Sounds like someone who smoked a lot during her heyday. Carol Miller, the veteran New York rock jock who's heard on several classic rock channels via voicetracking, is also a painful listen.
 
It is a syndicated show as well as sirius xm.

No. Her syndicated "Absolutely 80s" is not on SiriusXM, but she does air shifts on SiriusXM 80s on 8 including co-hosting the Big 40 Countdown each week with Mark Goodman and Alan Hunter.
 
Martha Quinn no longer does a shift on Sirius XM 80s Channel. She moved to San Francisco to do mornings on a station there, although I'm not sure if she's still on.

But she recorded a bunch of quick 80s music quizzes for Sirius XM which still run every several hours. Something like "Hi, I'm Martha Quinn. When David Lee Roth left Van Halen, who replaced him? A) Eddie Money, B) Sammy Hagar, or C) John Mellencamp? We'll have the answer coming up."

I like her and think it's nice that Sirius XM continues to use her voice on 80s on 8. The DJs on that channel remain Mark Goodman, Alan Hunter and Nina Blackwood. They shuffle the DJs around so you're not hearing the same voice at the same time.

Now there's a real tester of a question! Hopefully the actual questions require more than half a millisecond of thought. That one is the sort of question you'd get on one of those clickbait quizzes that lure you in with "Only 20 percent can answer all the questions in this super hard Eighties quiz. Can you?"
