Red Apple Audio Networks is proud to introduce Rockin’ the Decades with Tony Orlando, a new nationally syndicated music radio show that brings together one of the most recognizable voices in entertainment with the songs that defined generations. For two hours each weekend, Tony Orlando takes listeners on a nostalgic trip through time as he hits play on the most iconic and timeless songs spanning the ’60s, ’70s, ’80s, and beyond.
“Music has a way of bringing us back to the moments that matter most, and I’m excited to share that journey with listeners across the country," said Orlando. "Rockin’ the Decades is more than just great songs — it’s the stories, the memories, and the feelings that never fade. We’re going to celebrate the soundtrack of our lives every weekend.”
Orlando, who had been on 77WABC in New York since 2020, has a proven track record of connecting listeners to the soundtrack of their lives with the biggest hits of the ’60s, ’70s, ’80s, and beyond and behind-the-scenes stories from the artists who made them legendary.
“Rockin’ the Decades with Tony Orlando is a personality-driven experience built around timeless hits, storytelling, and connection,” said Chad Lopez, President Red Apple Media, the parent of Red Apple Audio Networks and 77WABC. “With his unmistakable charm and decades of experience in the music and broadcast industries, Tony brings every decade to life.”
Rockin’ the Decades with Tony Orlando is designed to deliver familiarity, energy, and broad appeal across multiple demos. It is the kind of programming that fits seamlessly into weekends or evenings, giving stations a polished, high-quality show anchored by a name audiences already know and trust. Each week’s program will feature “Tony’s Song Spotlight,” a behind-the-scenes look at one of rock and pop’s favorite hits.
Orlando’s critical acclaim has placed him atop the list of the most transformational artists of his generation. In 1973, Orlando achieved the top spot on the Billboard “Top 100” for “Tie a Yellow Ribbon ‘Round the Ole Oak Tree,” a worldwide hit and number one seller in both the United States and United Kingdom. The anthem was ranked number 37 on the “Biggest Songs of All Time” list announced by Billboard on the 50th Anniversary of the “Hot 100,” and has been considered an anthem of hope and homecoming.
Orlando’s other #1 Hits are “Knock Three Times,” “Candida,” “My Sweet Gypsy Rose,” and “He Don’t Love You (Like I Love You).” Tony Orlando and Dawn also had an enormously popular TV variety program, The Tony Orlando and Dawn Show on CBS from 1973 to 1977.
A big supporter of veterans, Orlando has performed for America’s armed services around the globe and raised millions of dollars for veterans’ organizations. His tireless work on behalf of veterans led to his being named Honorary Chairman at the 40th Anniversary of the NAM-POW’s Homecoming Celebration in 2014. Among his many awards and accolades, Orlando is the recipient of three American Music Awards and two People’s Choice Awards for Best Male Entertainer.
