Audacy has secured the future of one of its prominent afternoon radio personalities, announcing a multi-year contract extension with Mike Adam, the dynamic host of the afternoon drive show (3-7 p.m.) on hot AC station “New 102.7” WNEW in New York City.

This multi-market presence underscores Audacy’s confidence in Adam’s ability to connect with diverse audiences across different regions.

Over the course of his career, he has sat down with an eclectic array of artists and public figures, including rock legends Aerosmith and Lenny Kravitz, pop superstars Dua Lipa and Selena Gomez, and even former President Barack Obama. Adam has highlighted interviews with Janelle Monáe, Kate Hudson, Billy Idol, and Halsey as among his most unforgettable, citing their authenticity and engaging personalities as standout moments. His ability to forge connections with such a wide range of guests has made his show a go-to destination for listeners eager for insider stories and behind-the-scenes insights.

Adam’s journey with WNEW began in September 2017 when he joined the station’s full-time lineup as the afternoon host, following a stint as a fill-in host. Prior to that, he honed his craft in the competitive New York and Philadelphia radio scenes, hosting weekends on New York’s former CHR station “92.3 Amp Radio” WBMP and anchoring afternoon drive on Philadelphia’s former CHR station WZMP. His experience across formats, from CHR to hot AC, has equipped him with a versatile on-air style that blends pop culture expertise with a relatable, conversational tone.

Beyond radio, Adam has made significant strides in television, further amplifying his media presence. He has served as a correspondent for major networks including MTV, VH1, Fuse, and Dish Nation, where his charisma and quick wit translated seamlessly to the screen. This multifaceted background has helped him cultivate a loyal following across both traditional and digital platforms.

This year marks a significant milestone for Adam, as he celebrates a decade on the air in the New York City market, one of the most competitive media landscapes in the world.

 
Audacy’s decision to extend Adam’s contract reflects not only his individual success but also the company’s commitment to investing in talent that drives listener engagement.
