WOR/New York inks Mark Simone, the longest running talk show host in New York City, to a new three-year agreement. The 40-year radio host will continue to host "The Mark Simone Show" weekdays from 10am-noon, following "Len Berman and Michael Riedel in the Morning." Following his graduation from Emerson College, Simone received his first job in New York and has worked in New York City ever since with stops at WNEW, WPIX-FM, WMCA and WABC.

"There's no better place to be in the radio world than iHeartRadio," said Simone. "Thanks to the finest broadcasting executives around, Tom Cuddy, Thea Mitchem and Bernie Weiss for making it all happen. Walking to work every day is like walking through the Radio Hall of Fame. Just to get to my studio, I pass Elvis Duran, Jim Kerr, Charlamagne tha God, Angela Yee and other all-stars."

"It's no surprise that Mark holds the longevity record for NYC radio talk show hosts," said Executive VP of Programming and WWPR Program Director Thea Mitchem. "Mr. New York, Mark Simone, is in a class of his own."

"When I joined WOR almost 11 years ago, Mark was my first hire," added WOR Program Director Tom Cuddy. "Since then, it's been a blast watching Mark grow into becoming the highest rated radio talk host in his time slot, along with digital numbers that are among the highest in the country."
