Cumulus Media appoints veteran voice talent and creative audio production pro Christopher Libertini as Staff Announcer and Production Director for WABC-AM/New York. Libertini steps into the role formerly held by Johnny Donovan, who retired in May after 43 years at WABC. Libertini has worked for some of the biggest brands over the past 15 years and created signature sounds for Howard Stern, NFL Radio, SiriusXM, ESPN, MLB and CBS Radio. Currently, Libertini's voice can be heard on Cartoon Network, The Biography Channel, New York Lottery ads and various documentaries.

WABC PD Craig Schwalb said, "Though you cannot truly replace a legend like Johnny Donovan, you can find the next generation of production enthusiasts with indelible voices that resonate with your audience. Chris is proof positive that the sonic element of a talk radio station is vital and worth investing in."

Libertini added, "It's an honor to be associated with a legendary brand such as WABC. In this ever changing landscape, content is king, and I look forward to fostering WABC into the future."
