Red Apple Media Conservative Talk 770 WABC New York has launched “The Other Side Of Midnight” hosted by Frank Morano from 1-5am weeknights.
The show was originally set to launch in August. Morano joined the station in July and has been hosting a late morning show exclusively for 107.1 WLIR-FM Hampton Bays NY. He will continue to host the 10am hour on WLIR-FM.
The new show replaces Westwood One’s Red Eye Radio on WABC’s schedule.
TALKRADIO 77 WABC and Red Apple Media are pleased to announce that “The Other Side of Midnight” hosted by Frank Morano has launched this week and airs every weekday morning from 1 to 5 AM ET.
The program features newsmakers, insightful commentary, expert guests, lively exchanges with callers, and a healthy dose of satire. Just this week, Morano welcomed former Trump adviser Roger Stone, subway vigilante Bernard Goetz, former radio talker Doug McIntyre, and radio legend John Gambling. There are also regular discussions exploring the world of the paranormal, including UFOs and conspiracy theories.
In addition, Morano will continue to host a show Mon-Fri, 10 AM -11 AM ET on Talk Radio 107.1 FM.
“Frank has already proven to be one of the most entertaining young voices in talk radio today,” said Chad Lopez, President of Red Apple Media and WABC. “We’re thrilled to add Frank to our ranks as we continue to cement our place as New York’s premiere news and talk station. This is the city that never sleeps and New Yorkers deserve a live and local overnight show.”
“I grew up listening to overnight radio,” Morano said. “To me, there’s nothing more intimate and more fun. There’s no daypart where you can combine long form interviews, wacky topics, off the wall guests, and a bit of irreverence. When I’d fall asleep, or wake up early, listening to the likes of Alan Colmes, Brian Whitman, Art Bell, Jay Diamond and Doug McIntyre, I’d quickly find those voices becoming the soundtrack of my dreams; I was absolutely hooked. I’m hoping to give insomniacs one more reason to stay awake.”
“Frank has already contributed a great deal towards furthering civic discourse in New York. Since returning to WABC, it has been a real treat to have Frank as both a fill-in and on the weekend, and we know he’ll be an essential building block in making radio fun again,” added Dave LaBrozzi, Senior Vice President of Programming for WABC. “This show further demonstrates our commitment to making WABC New York’s live and local news talk leader.”
“We are proud to launch this overnight show, which will eventually be seven days a week, much to the satisfaction of all the insomniacs in our country,” said John Catsimatidis, owner of Red Apple Media. “‘The Other Side of Midnight’ will air all of the mysterious stories that the normal news networks never report, and Americans deserve to know.”
On WABC’s 50,000-Watt clear channel station, ‘The Other Side of Midnight’ can be heard from 1AM to 5AM in as many as 26 states, and can also be heard 24 hours a day 7 days a week, and worldwide on wabcradio.com and the WABC App.
