Roger and JP

The "Roger & JP" show with Roger Luce and "JP" Parise inks a new 4-year deal that keeps them on Cox Media Group's WBAB/Nassau-Suffolk, NY (Long Island) in mornings and on CMG's WHPT-FM (102.5 The Bone)/Tampa in middays. The duo have aired on WBAB since 2000 and came to 102.5 The Bone in 2015. They are known for mobilizing relief efforts after 9/11 and Superstorm Sandy, helping the community make it through the COVID pandemic, raising funds for Hope For The Warriors and providing toys for sick children and food for military veterans.

"Roger & JP have been entertaining and informing Long Islanders for the past 22 years," said Cox Media Group Long Island VP/GM Katelin Tinley. "We could not be happier to continue this highly rated morning show for another 4 years. Roger & JP are passionate, smart and know what the audience wants, and they deliver."

CMG VP of Audience & Operations Chris Eagan added, "Roger & JP simply dominate Long Island and Tampa radio. They're both deeply committed to those stations, and the audience and our advertisers can feel it every day."

"Long Island is our home -- it's part of who we are. To have another four years at this heritage Classic Rock station, 102.3 WBAB, and at our second home at 102.5 The Bone in Tampa, is a great source of pride and joy for us," said Luce.

Parise jokingly added, "They roped us into another 4 years of live midday shows at 102.5 The Bone in Tampa too. Send help!"
