NYC Radio: For Mike Gallagher, The Answer Is The Answer

The Mike Gallagher Show, canceled on WOR 710 by new owners Clear Channel, has found a new home.

Mike starts Monday on Salem’s WNYM 970 AM The Answer.

Gallagher will originate his Monday show from Salem’s studios at the Empire State Building and is excited at being reunited with programmer Phil Boyce.  Boyce had once hired Gallagher for afternoons on WABC 770 AM. Gallagher was then at WGY 810 AM in AlbanyNY.


"I brought Mike to New Years years ago when I programmed WABC and am delighted to have a chance to get him on my station," said Boyce, who is Salem’s VP/Director of Spokne Words Fromats fro Salem Communication.

To shoe-horn Mike into The Answer’s line-up, Curtis Sliwa will end morning drive at 9am, Dial Global’s Dennis Miller will air starting at 11am, Salem’s Dennis Prager moves to 1p to 3p.
