He'll be joined in PM drive by traffic anchor Britney Trumpey, station meteorologist Nor'easter Nick Pittman and newsman Hunter Farman.

Cane said, "Thankful to Robby and CEO Bob McAllan for this opportunity. Working for a company that still believes in local radio is incredible and Robby is a guy who's passion for it makes me remember why I loved radio in the first place."

Additionally, Ralphie Aversa moves to nights where he'll host "The Ralphie Radio Show" weeknights (except Wednesdays) and continue hosting the station's "Totally 80s Saturday Night." Aversa also serves as entertainment reporter for USA Today and had previously hosted nights on WPLJ/New York, WBHT/Scranton and in national syndication. Aversa joined The Boss in October of 2021.

Aversa added, "Thank you to Robby Bridges for building such a unique and fun radio station. Of course, it also happens thanks to Bob McAllan and Press Communications. I'm thankful to be a part of the family and am excited about returning to weeknights in the Tri State!"

"We believe in personality driven content and this new 1-2 punch in PM and nights with Cane and Ralphie elevates The Boss to the highest levels. I'm thrilled to work with two 21st century super jocks as part of our all star team," said VP of Programming Robby Bridges.
