"Retro Pop Reunion," the long-running weekend radio program celebrating the music of the '80s and '90s, has joined the Saturday night lineup at Audacy's WMJX-FM (Magic 106.7) in Boston. Hosted by Boston radio veteran Joe Cortese, the show began airing on the station this past weekend, marking a return to familiar territory for the longtime broadcaster.

Cortese, who celebrated 40 years on Boston radio in 2023, called the addition of WMJX a homecoming. "It's great to be playing on your home field every week!" he said. "I've been doing this for a long time, and it's still exciting when you have an opportunity like this."

Steve Salhany, Vice President of Hot AC Programming at Audacy Boston and Hartford, said the show was a natural fit for WMJX. "This show, along with Joe's energy and credibility, is a perfect fit. He is a longtime Boston personality, and we are excited for him to bring his unique dynamic to our station with this highly produced program."

Ed Moloney, Director of Affiliate Syndication at Skyview Networks, echoed the significance of the Boston debut. "Adding an iconic station like WMJX-FM isn't just adding another affiliate. Joe began his career in Boston, so to bring Retro Pop Reunion to the city is a full circle moment."

Syndicated by Throwback Brands and Skyview Networks, Retro Pop Reunion is available to Classic Hits, Adult Hits, and AC stations nationwide, airing as a four-hour weekend show.
