NYC Radio: Joe Piscopo To Host Sinatra Show On 77WABC


77 WABC Radio has announced the launch of Sunday Nights with Sinatra, a weekend music program airing the timeless hits of the most influential musician of the 20th Century, Frank Sinatra. 

The new show, which began airing on December 13, 2020, will be hosted by radio icon and comedian Joe Piscopo and simulcast on WLIR-FM 107.1, Long Island. Both stations are owned by Red Apple Media.

Before joining 77 WABC, Piscopo was renowned for his impressions of “Ol’ Blue Eyes” while starring on NBC’s Saturday Night Live. Piscopo’s addition to the 77 WABC weekend program is the third high-profile addition to the network’s lineup this year, with “Cousin Brucie” Morrow and Tony Orlando, who also share the weekend evening airwaves.

The following statement was released by Joe Piscopo, host of the new weekend radio program Sunday Nights with Sinatra, on 77 WABC Radio:

“It’s an honor to bring the music of the most legendary icon of our time, Frank Sinatra, back to the legendary WABC Radio. I am thrilled and excited, and it’s gonna’ be swingin’, baby!”

The following statement was released by John Catsimatidis, CEO of Red Apple Media:

“Throughout history, there has been no more iconic name in music than Frank Sinatra, nor has there been a more iconic name in radio than WABC. Bringing these two together again on Sunday nights with celebrity host Joe Piscopo, a crooner himself, is a one-of-a-kind way to honor ‘Ol’ Blue Eyes’ and celebrate what would-be his 105th Birthday with this show’s debut,” said John Catsimatidis.
