Red Apple Media Conservative Talk 770 WABC New York and 107.1 WLIR-FM Hampton Bays NY is expanding its weekend music programming with the addition of “Sunday Nights with Sinatra” hosted by Joe Piscopo.
Piscopo, known for his characterization of Sinatra during his stint on Saturday Night Live in the early 80s, will host the show from 8-10pm weekly. He will continue to host mornings on Salem Media’s crosstown Conservative Talk “970 The Answer” WNYM Hackensack NJ as he has since 2014.
In addition to Sunday Nights with Sinatra, WABC features Saturday night Oldies programming hosted by ‘Cousin Brucie’ Morrow and Tony Orlando.
77 WABC Radio has announced the launch of Ramsey Mazda’s Sunday Nights with Sinatra, a weekend music program airing the timeless hits of the most influential musician of the 20th Century, Frank Sinatra. The new show, which began airing on December 13, 2020, will be hosted by radio icon and comedian Joe Piscopo and simulcast on WLIR-FM 107.1, Long Island. Both stations are owned by Red Apple Media.
Before joining 77 WABC, Piscopo was renowned for his impressions of “Ol’ Blue Eyes” while starring on NBC’s Saturday Night Live. Piscopo’s addition to the 77 WABC weekend program is the third high-profile addition to the network’s lineup this year, with “Cousin Brucie” Morrow and Tony Orlando, who also share the weekend evening airwaves.
The following statement was released by Joe Piscopo, host of the new weekend radio program Sunday Nights with Sinatra, on 77 WABC Radio:
“It’s an honor to bring the music of the most legendary icon of our time, Frank Sinatra, back to the legendary WABC Radio. I am thrilled and excited, and it’s gonna’ be swingin’, baby!”
The following statement was released by John Catsimatidis, CEO of Red Apple Media:
“Throughout history, there has been no more iconic name in music than Frank Sinatra, nor has there been a more iconic name in radio than WABC. Bringing these two together again on Sunday nights with celebrity host Joe Piscopo, a crooner himself, is a one-of-a-kind way to honor ‘Ol’ Blue Eyes’ and celebrate what would-be his 105th Birthday with this show’s debut,” said John Catsimatidis.
The following statement was released by Chad Lopez, President of Red Apple Media:
“WABC Radio cherishes its heritage as one of the nation’s oldest radio stations, with a time-tested reputation in news and entertainment. Piscopo is entertainment at its finest, and will embody the timeless class and charm of Frank Sinatra when hosting this Sunday night show,” said Chad Lopez.
The following statement was released by Dave LaBrozzi, Senior VP of Programming.
“We couldn’t be more excited for this new addition to our all-star weekend lineup, with Joe Piscopo who is a household name, playing the classics from Frank Sinatra who will be forever remembered as the sound of the 20th Century,” said Dave LaBrozzi.
