77WABC paid tribute today to morning man Bernard McGuirk, who passed away on this day last year from prostate cancer.
McGuirk had been co-host of WABC’s Bernie & Sid in the Morning with Sid Rosenberg since April of 2018. The show was credited for helping bring WABC back to the top in New York City. Prior to Bernie & Sid in The Morning, McGuirk had been Executive Producer for the Imus in the Morning Show, where his combination of quick-wit and deep knowledge of politics, economics, and world events made him a welcome on-air contributor.
Today’s tribute aired on 77WABC from 6am to 12noon on an extended Sid & Friends in the Morning Show, the program that launched following McGuirk’s passing, with Rosenberg as the sole host. During today’s tribute, Rosenberg was joined by several of McGuirk’s colleagues, including Warner Wolf and Connell McShane, both of whom did news on the Imus Show, and Carley Shimkus, who was a contributor.
McGuirk and Rosenberg also first met and worked together on the Imus Show. “I am so grateful to have known and worked with Bernie,” said Rosenberg. “Bernie was a phenomenal radio host and an even better person. That’s what I miss most every day.”
Chad Lopez, President of 77WABC and Red apple Media, said, “In Bernie’s memory we are raising awareness of the importance of prostate cancer screening. 77WABC hopes to save lives through Bernie’s legacy.”
