Red Apple To Syndicate Cousin Brucie

Red Apple Music Networks, the music radio unit of Red Apple Audio Networks, has expanded its national syndication with one of America’s most popular, trusted, and beloved music radio personalities Bruce “Cousin Brucie” Morrow. Cousin Brucie‘s Rock & Roll Party airs live on Saturdays from 6-10pm ET and is the second music radio program from the network, whose flagship is the iconic 77WABC.

Cousin Brucie has a long and storied career with 77WABC, where he was on the air during the early days of rock & roll and introduced fans to The Beatles, Motown, 60s Soul, surf music, and more. He even interviewed The Beatles when they first came to the U.S. in 1964!

Fast forward to 2020... John Catsimatidis purchases 77WABC and brings Cousin Brucie, who had been on SiriusXM, back to radio and his legions of fans. Last year, when Now and Then, a new Beatles song that used AI to fill in John Lennon’s voice, Paul McCartney recorded a personalized message for Cousin Brucie to play on his Rock & Roll Party.

The Iconic Cousin Brucie

“We are giving radio stations across America the opportunity to experience the success we have had with Cousin Brucie in New York,” said Catsimatidis. “Brucie is passionate about his show, the music, and his listeners and that is a large part of why his fans are so loyal.”

“Cousins, being on radio again, playing the best music, and connecting with listeners is as exciting for me now as it was in 1964,” said Morrow. “The magic of radio, the beauty of theater of the mind is unduplicated. I'm looking forward to the fun we’re going to have on radio stations across America!”

Morrow has 80,000 followers on Facebook where he interacts directly with his listeners throughout the week. Every Saturday, he posts a video to share with fans who his special guest will be that evening. Guests have included rock & roll superstars such as, Ringo Star, Frankie Valli of the Four Seasons, Darlene Love, Dion DiMucci of Dion & The Belmonts, Mike Love of The Beach Boys, Ronnie Spector of The Ronettes, and Darlene Love.

“The goal with our networks is to deliver top-quality programming and nationally recognizable talent like Cousin Brucie to radio stations across the country,” stated Chad Lopez, President of Red Apple Media and WABC Radio. “Brucie has unparalleled access to the artists who performed the biggest hits of the 50s and 60s, bringing listeners closer to the music they love.”

Cousin Brucie was inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame in 1988 and the National Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame in 2001

Since the launch of Red Apple Audio Networks in 2021, the network has gained industry-wide recognition for delivering the biggest names in broadcasting, entertainment, news, politics, finance, business, and more. Red Apple Music Networks also syndicates Sundays with Sinatra with Joe Piscopo.
