Walter Sterling takes nights for a live and local show on WPHT-AM (Talk Radio 1210) in Philadelphia. "Walter Sterling at Night" will air weeknights from 9-12am ET beginning May 13. Sterling is a late-evening talk host with a decade of success, including as host of syndicated "Sterling on Sunday with Walter Sterling." He previously worked at SiriusXM in creating talk programs and music channels and was also a pioneer in the FM Talk sector as Vice President of ABC Radio Networks and Executive VP of NBC-owned FM stations, where his team was responsible for creating the AC and Urban formats.

"Walter has demonstrated the importance of the late-night talk radio with his Sunday night nationally syndicated program and has welcomed his listeners, who he refers to as 'friends on the radio,' to unpack their day-to-day lives," said Audacy Philadelphia Senior VP and Market Manager David Yadgaroff. "He's made strides at Talk Radio 1210 WPHT for a decade, and we're ecstatic to finally bring his entertaining brand to the Delaware Valley five nights a week."

"Late-night radio is golden media time for a live program. It's a one-on-one stage for lighter conversations, serving as morning drive for late-shift doctors, nurses, bus drivers, hotel managers, security staff and more," added Sterling. "Thank you, David Yadgaroff, Greg Stocker, Jeff Sottolano and the incredible programming and engineering teams at Audacy. Over the years, I've made strong connections with Talk Radio 1210 WPHT listeners and look forward to building them as I join weeknights."
