Primarily known for classic and modern rock music genres, Griffin began her disc jockey career in 1975 alongside Howard Stern at WRNW in Briarcliff Manor, New York. [4] Griffin later had stints at K-Rock (WXRK), WNEW-FM and WBAI in New York City, WLIR on Long Island, and WMMR (1978 and 1980) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Her on-air nickname is "Megless."

She was originally going to be a VJ on MTV when it launched on August 1, 1981. However, she decided against it at the last minute; Martha Quinn took her place.

Prior to the Sirius/XM merger in 2008, Griffin appeared on the Sirius channels Sirius Disorder and Folk Town. She also appeared on University of Massachusetts Boston station WUMB-FM in 2010–11.[5]

She was featured in a 2015 documentary about Radio DJs called I Am What I Play, directed by Roger King.[6]
