“Pinch me. I am beyond ecstatic for the support I’ve received from Jim Ryan [Senior Vice President of Programming, Entercom New York] and Susan Larkin,” said Taylor.

“To say I’m a lucky guy to walk into one of the greatest radio stations ever is an understatement. There are some two million PLJ fans looking for a station to call home and I'd love for them to join me at WCBS-FM. I’m ready to rock. Scott Shannon, I’ve missed you brother.”
