NYC Radio: 77WABC Adding Ben Shapiro Afternoons 3 - 6

Cumulus Media announces that it is bringing Westwood One nationally syndicated talk radio program The Ben Shapiro Show to New Yorkers’ afternoons on 77 WABC Radio.

The Ben Shapiro Show will air weekdays on 77 WABC from 3pm-6pm Eastern. The program, which launches on 77WABC on Monday, January 7, 2019, includes two LIVE hours of radio programming and one hour of the Ben Shapiro podcast airing on the radio.

The Ben Shapiro Show is a high-energy, action-packed program as host and podcast-to-broadcast innovator Ben Shapiro, editor-in-chief of DailyWire.com, covers America’s most powerful political personalities, brutally breaking down the culture, while never giving an inch. The live radio show extension was recently announced on the heels of the success of syndicating The Ben Shapiro Show, the top conservative podcast in the nation in 60 U.S. markets.

Chad Lopez, Vice President/Market Manager, Cumulus New York, said: “There is no question that Ben Shapiro has taken New York by storm with listeners and advertisers. Broadening his footprint on WABC is the natural evolution of this exciting program.”

Craig Schwalb, 77WABC Program Director, said: “Ben is a fascinating host that completely cuts through the sameness that is political talk radio right now. It’s the perfect time for us to expand his programming on 77 WABC.”

Shapiro said: “I'm thrilled to be launching our three-hour show on WABC, an iconic station with an incredible history. New York is the hub for information and entertainment, with a whip-smart, engaged audience -- and I can't wait to bring my brand of fast-talking to the city known for it!”
