WABC/New York Teams Curtis and Cosby for Middays
RADIO ONLINE | Monday, February 5, 2018 |
WABC-AM/New York announces the pairing of quintessential New York host Curtis Sliwa and Emmy-winning journalist Rita Cosby for the new talk show, "Curtis + Cosby," debuting Tuesday, February 6 from 12-3pm. The new program brings together two renowned New York natives and veteran broadcasters for the first time. Sliwa, the iconic founder of the Guardian Angels, enters his fourth year hosting middays on WABC. Cosby continues as WABC Political Editor, expanding upon her role since 2014 hosting "Election Central" and "The Rita Cosby Show."
Cumulus Media/New York VP/Market Manager Chad Lopez said, "Curtis and Rita are larger than life personalities and exceptional hosts who really understand what makes New York tick. Our listeners, our advertisers, and our staff are excited about the show."
PD Craig Schwalb added, "This is basically a New York dream team. Two veteran New York broadcasters and celebrated New York personalities that our listeners simply adore. It's an incredible combination."
Cosby said, "I am thrilled to co-host the brand new 'Curtis + Cosby' show with my longtime friend, radio superstar Curtis Sliwa. With such an unprecedented barrage of endless news topics, now is the perfect time for us to join forces and engage our listeners in a way you will hear nowhere else."
Sliwa added, "This is an actual first in a large radio market. Two Polish Americans who are teamed together. Rita has reported from throughout the world and has made solid contacts with newsmakers and cultural figures that she has brought to the microphones of 77 WABC. And in this age of "ME TOO", she brings a female voice to our talk radio industry that has been sorely missed."
