Red Apple Audio Networks is adding "The Rush Hour with James Golden" to its lineup, a new program tailored for afternoon listeners. The show, featuring James Golden, known widely as Bo Snerdley from his days as producer for The Rush Limbaugh Show, airs live weekdays from 4-5pm ET.

In his new show, Golden aims to keep the drive-time audience informed and entertained with a mix of the day's critical news and nostalgic music hits, celebrating notable moments in music history. This unique format promises to energize listeners during their afternoon commutes with both information and entertainment.

Golden's appeal has significantly grown since his tenure with Limbaugh, as evidenced by a remarkable 41% year-over-year audience increase at his flagship station, 77WABC in New York. His current total listening time averages 75 minutes weekly, underscoring his strong connection with the audience.

"James has attracted a loyal audience that continues to grow," stated John Catsimatidis, Owner of Red Apple Media, Red Apple Audio Networks and 77WABC Radio. "Many of his listeners remember him from the Rush Limbaugh days, but the audience growth he is experiencing is solely on his own talent. His insights on politics, combined with his love for talk radio, has made him a phenomenal success."

Golden's broadcasting career spans several decades, with experience in various roles from the control room to on-air hosting. His expertise and engaging commentary recently earned him the Best Editorial/Commentary Award from the New York State Broadcasters Association.

Alongside "The Rush Hour," Golden also hosts "The James Golden Show," a three-hour Saturday morning program that began syndication last June and now boasts over 30 affiliates, including five in the Top 50 DMA's.
