Red Apple Music Networks is expanding its national syndication with the addition of "Cousin Brucie" Morrow's program, "Cousin Brucie's Rock & Roll Party." The show, which airs live on Saturdays from 6-10pm ET, features the renowned personality Bruce "Cousin Brucie" Morrow, who has been a staple in the music radio landscape since the early rock & roll era.

Cousin Brucie, known for his presence on 77WABC, played a pivotal role in introducing a generation to iconic sounds from The Beatles to Motown and beyond. His career achievements include interviewing The Beatles during their first U.S. visit in 1964. In a nostalgic nod to his lasting influence, Paul McCartney recently recorded a personalized message for Brucie's show to premiere "Now and Then," a new Beatles track featuring AI-enhanced vocals by John Lennon.

The program's expansion follows owner John Catsimatidis' acquisition of 77WABC in 2020 and the subsequent re-introduction of Cousin Brucie to the airwaves after a stint at SiriusXM. Catsimatidis expressed enthusiasm for the syndication expansion, noting, "We are giving radio stations across America the opportunity to experience the success we have had with Cousin Brucie in New York."

Cousin Brucie shared his excitement about connecting with his national audience, stating, "Being on radio again, playing the best music, and connecting with listeners is as exciting for me now as it was in 1964. The magic of radio, the beauty of theater of the mind is unduplicated."

The show not only reconnects listeners with the golden era of rock & roll but also regularly features live interactions with legendary artists. Past guests have included rock & roll luminaries such as Ringo Starr, Frankie Valli, and Mike Love.

Chad Lopez, President of Red Apple Media and WABC Radio, said, "Our goal is to deliver top-quality programming and nationally recognizable talent like Cousin Brucie to radio stations across the country."
