John Catsimatidis, owner of 77WABC and Red Apple Media, has announced that former U.S. Senator from New York state, Alfonse D’Amato, has joined the leading talk station as a regular contributor. D’Amato will provide insights from his years of political service across 77WABC’s talk programs, including Cats & Cosby, the afternoon drive show co-hosted by Catsimatidis and award-winning journalist Rita Cosby.
“Senator D’Amato is one of the smartest, most common sense, and knowledgeable people I know,” stated Catsimatidis. “From his many years in the U.S. Senate, Al has a deep understanding of the underpinnings of politics -- local, national, and global – and will help 77WABC listeners discern the truth about what’s really going on in Washington and the world.”
“I am pleased to be part of the greatest news/talk programming in the nation,” Sen. D’Amato said. “77WABC is a station whose people call it the way it is and aren't wed to a political party but are wed to doing what's right in America.”
Sen. D'Amato represented the state of New York in the U.S. Senate from 1981 to 1999 and was re-elected in 1986 and 1992. Sen. D'Amato was a member of the President's Commission on Aviation Security and Terrorism (PCAST); Chair of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs; and a member of the Senate Finance Committee. He was influential in New York Republican politics and played a leading role in recruiting George Pataki and in securing him the Republican nomination in the gubernatorial race of 1994. Following his departure from the Senate, Sen. D'Amato founded Park Strategies, a lobbying firm.
