Following his exit from SiriusXM, ‘Cousin Brucie’ Morrow is returning to 770 WABC New York to host “Cousin Brucie’s Saturday Night Rock & Roll Party” on Saturday nights from 6-9pm.
Morrow famously hosted nights at WABC from 1961 to 1974 as part of a career that has included stints at 1010 WINS, 660 WNBC, 101.1 WCBS-FM and from 2005 until July at SiriusXM. The new show will debut on Saturday, September 5 with a special reairing on Labor Day from 12-3pm.
Legendary radio personality Bruce Morrow, known by his legions of fans worldwide as Cousin Brucie, is coming home to 77WABC, the iconic radio station where he first introduced fans to The Beatles, Motown, 60s soul, surf music, and more. From 6 to 9 pm ET every Saturday night, beginning September 5, Cousin Brucie’s Saturday Night Rock & Roll Party will return to the airwaves at the station he helped build decades ago. Cousin Brucie will be heard live on 77WABC, New York, sister station WLIR-FM 107.1, Hampton Bays, NY, and streaming across the country on the WABC App and http://www.wabcradio.com. The debut show will also be replayed on Labor Day Monday, September 7, from noon to 3 p.m. ET.
“Cousins, this is literally one of the most exciting projects of my life,” said Morrow. “It completes a circle… a career circle. It all started at WABC, and here we are all these years later, and the magic is still here. And what magic we’re going to make!”
Both radio stations and their digital platforms are owned by John Catsimatidis’ Red Apple Media. “Brucie is a national treasure and talent. Listeners everywhere can now hear this radio icon and their favorite music from the early days of rock and roll on our radio stations and streaming on our digital platforms,” commented Catsimatidis. “Red Apple Media is about bringing the best in information and entertainment to New York and all of America however they want to listen… on their phone, radio, smart speaker or computer.”
“It’s an honor to be part of these two legendary brands coming together and to welcome Cousin Brucie home to 77WABC,” added Chad Lopez, President of Red Apple Media and 77WABC.
“We’re excited to bring MUSIC Radio back to 77WABC every Saturday night with Cousin Brucie, everyone across America can stream him and us at WABCRadio.com,” stated Dave LaBrozzi, Senior Vice President of Programming for Red Apple Media and 77WABC.
Brucie’s longtime attorney, Judy Tint, shared, “I grew up listening to Cousin Brucie, and I’m still one of his biggest fans. It’s an honor to have helped bring him back to WABC, and I can’t wait to listen.”
Most recently, Cousin Brucie was heard by paid subscribers on SiriusXM satellite radio, where he has hosted his Wednesday and Saturday night programs since 2005. With his return to 77WABC, Cousin Brucie’s shows will be freely accessible to his loyal listeners in the tri-state area and across the country.
