- At the Daily News, she was a staff reporter before she was appointed the paper's first woman bureau chief in City Hall and Albany. Kramer joined WCBS-TV in 1990 during a labor disruption at the tabloid.
- Her broadcast career includes many years serving as host of the station's Sunday morning political show - "Sunday Edition with Marcia Kramer." The show featured interviews with local and national politicians as well as round-table discussions with fellow reporters and editors.
- In 1996, she married Marc Kalech, who was Managing Editor of the New York Post. During the 1992 New York presidential primary, she asked then-candidate Bill Clinton the question about his past marijuana use, which prompted his response that he had smoked the drug while in college "but did not inhale."In October 2000, during a New York State Senate debate, Kramer asked candidates Hillary Clinton and Rick Lazio what they thought of "Federal Bill 602-P." Kramer described the bill as a proposal to implement a tax on internet email messages.
- As part of a promotion by the station, the question had been sent in by a listener but the screeners reviewing the questions, Kramer and the candidates were all unaware that the "tax" was actually an internet hoax.
- The station quickly issued a statement correcting the error.
