Terri-Rae Elmer (born 1956) is an American radio personality. Elmer was a radio news announcer for KFI AM 640 from 1983 to 2011. Following KFI Terri-rae became the co-host of the morning show on KABC 790 with Doug McIntyre. Cumulus Media did not renew her contract for 2017 and she is no longer on KABC-790AM.

KFI (1983-2011)
From 1990 to 1993, Elmer and Tracey Miller co-hosted KFI's TNT in the Morning, the first morning-drive show in a major market to feature two women in the lead roles.
From 1993 until her departure from KFI in December 2011, Elmer handled news during KFI's afternoon "drive time" and participated with the hosts of The John and Ken Show to the extent that she was a virtual sidekick on that program, often breaking from her newsreader role and expressing points of view. During the 6pm hour of The John and Ken Show on December 7, 2011, John Kobylt announced Elmer was leaving KFI to pursue another opportunity.

On January 3, 2012, Elmer joined a new morning show on Los Angeles-based KABC 790AM with co-host Doug McIntyre.[4] In late 2016, Elmer's contract was not renewed for 2017, ending her association with KABC.
