John Catsimatidis, Owner of Red Apple Media and WABC Radio, is matching $25,000 of donations to The Broadcasters Foundation of America to help fund Emergency Grants for individual broadcasters devastated by the destruction of Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
“My family, Red Apple Media, and WABC Radio have supported numerous causes and organizations,” stated Catsimatidis. “At this time of great need for colleagues catastrophically impacted by these storms, I will match the next $25,000 in donations to help them get back on their feet. I applaud all those who have already donated any amount because every dollar helps.”
“We are grateful to John and Red Apple Media for their generous patronage of our charitable mission,” said Tim McCarthy, President of the Broadcasters Foundation of America. “It is with the support of industry leaders like John that the Foundation can provide assistance to those in our industry who need it most, including in times of emergency. I ask every broadcaster to consider giving an individual or corporation donation so that we can continue our charitable mission for broadcasters in need.”
Additionally, WABC Radio is running PSAs to appeal to listeners for donations. In addition, the station has produced a version of the PSA that can be tagged by a radio station with their own call letters. To download the PSA, stations may click here.
