Business news reporter Joe Connolly joins WABC-AM in New York for "Business Success Stories with Joe Connolly," one-minute features that highlight local business success stories. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, Connolly will interview a local business owner or operator who will share their story of success. Connolly was the business news reporter at WCBS-AM for more than 30 years and is known across the New York area.

"Joe is the best business news reporter in New York and a highly trusted source for business intelligence," stated Red Apple Media and WABC Radio Owner John Catsimatidis. "In the midst of questions about the economy and where it's going, Joe will find success stories that inspire others. New York radio listeners, especially those who own or run businesses, will benefit from these uplifting interviews."

"John is showing radio stations around the country how to save radio and local news," added Connolly. "He and my former colleague and friend from CBS, Chad Lopez, are leading the industry in finding new ways to reach more listeners through top-quality programming, promos, podcasts, audio production, and station events.

"When I hear John talk about helping the youth of New York through the Police Athletic League and other causes through his WABC Radio Foundation, I think to myself, 'I want to be part of a radio station that truly uses its license for the good of its community,'" Connolly concluded.

Connolly has held management roles at large radio companies in both New York and Washington. He has appeared on CNBC and the CBS Evening News and covered The White House and The Olympics.
