NYC Radio: Alfonse D'Amato Joins 77WABC At Contributor


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.
