WABC/New York makes two new additions to its Sunday line-up. These include "Cut to the Chase" with Laura Curran from 4-5pm, and "Positively Ernie & Patricia" with Ernie Anastos and Patricia Stark from 5-6pm. Both shows debuted this past Sunday.

Laura Curran began working with WABC several months ago for her Cut to the Chase with Laura Curran podcast and did vacation fill-in on the air for Cats at Night (now Cats & Cosby). Curran was the ninth county executive in Nassau County and the first woman to hold the office. Earlier in her career she was a reporter for The Daily News and The New York Post.

As previously announced, TV news personality Ernie Anastos joined WABC last month for his twice daily feature "Positively Ernie" with Ernie Anastos. Now, Anastos partners with Patricia Stark to find the positive outlook in news and events that shape our world. Anastos is best known as a TV news anchor at ABC 7, CBS 2 and FOX 5 in New York. Stark is a Certified Personal & Executive Coach who heads Patricia Stark Communications.

"At 77 WABC, we're doing radio the way it's supposed to be.... live, local, and big," said Red Apple Media and WABC owner John Catsimatidis. "We got rid of all the brokered weekend programs, and we're replacing them with big-name hosts like Ernie and Laura. I know we're doing radio the right way because we're winning."

Red Apple Media and WABC President Chad Lopez said, "I'm excited about Ernie's and Laura's Sunday programs. They each bring a passion for New York to their shows that connects with our listeners. It's terrific content and I'm proud to welcome them."
