Broadway, ‘Idol’ Vet Maroulis Joins WABC/NY

• Red Apple Media’s 77 WABC/New York has hired two-time Tony-nominated performer (and American Idol finalist) Constantine Maroulis to a) host a weekend music show, and b) serve as the station’s Entertainment Reporter.

The Constantine Maroulis Show — Cuz Saturday Night Rocks! will air Saturdays from 5-6pm, beginning this Saturday, July 10 and feature hits from the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s along with interviews with prominent musicians, artists, and influencers. “I will be bringing the high energy and music that fans enjoyed from my American Idol performances and starring roles on Broadway,” said Maroulis. “What will be new for fans are my interviews. I look forward to having artists on my show and sharing behind-the-scenes stories with the audience while I spin amazing songs.” Maroulis’ Entertainment Reports will be heard Mondays and Fridays on Bernie & Sid In The Morning, and on Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays, he will deliver a weekend-focused segment, Pop Rocks 60.

“Constantine is an immense talent both as a performer and storyteller,” said John Catsimatidis, CEO of Red Apple Media, Inc. and 77 WABC. “77 WABC has worked with him on several specials and charity events, so we are sure The Constantine Maroulis Show — Cuz Saturday Night Rocks! will be a home run with audiences in New York and around the world. We look forward to sharing this new show and his other contributions to our schedule all week long.”

Maroulis added, “John has made wonderful changes to 77 WABC, both in programming and technological abilities since he bought the station. The new Studio 77 multimedia broadcast space he built is out of this world. I can’t wait to grip the mic, roll cameras, and get going!”
