NYC Radio 77WABC Adds Two Sunday Shows


77 WABC welcomes two new additions to its Sunday line-up, bringing more live and local programming and big-name hosts to its listeners. The new programs are Cut to the Chase with Laura Curran, from 4PM to 5PM, and Positively Ernie & Patricia with Ernie Anastos and Patricia Stark, from 5PM - 6PM. Both shows debuted this past Sunday.


Laura Curran began working with WABC several months ago for her Cut to the Chase with Laura Curran podcast and did vacation fill-in on the air for Cats at Night (now Cats & Cosby). Curran was the ninth county executive in Nassau County and the first woman to hold the office. Earlier in her career she was a reporter for The Daily News and The New York Post. That combination gives Laura a unique perspective on the current events that are affecting listeners on a local and national scale.


As was previously announced, TV news personality Ernie Anastos joined 77 WABC just last month for his twice daily feature Positively Ernie with Ernie Anastos. Now, Anastos partners with Patricia Stark to find the positive outlook in news and events that shape our world. Anastos is best known as a respected TV news anchor at ABC 7, CBS 2, and FOX 5 in New York. Stark is a Certified Personal & Executive Coach who heads Patricia Stark Communications and specializes in helping clients build their Calmfidence® in interviews, on-camera, and in daily life.

“At 77 WABC, we’re doing radio the way it’s supposed to be.... live, local, and BIG,” said John Catsimatidis, owner of Red Apple Media and 77 WABC. “We got rid of all the brokered weekend programs, and we’re replacing them with big-name hosts like Ernie and Laura. I know we’re doing radio the right way because we’re winning!”

Chad Lopez, President of Red Apple Media and 77 WABC, said, “I’m excited about Ernie’s and Laura’s Sunday programs. They each bring a passion for New York to their shows that connects with our listeners. It’s terrific content and I’m proud to welcome them.”
