Before that he did afternoons for the former Country WNSH (now WXBK) from 2013 to 2021. “Jesse Addy is an incredible talent who has built a deep connection with this city during his time at New York’s Country 94.7, and now gets to continue that relationship through the legendary WCBS-FM,” said John Foxx, WCBS-FM Brand Manager and morning co-host. “Broadway Bill Lee is a legendary on-air personality and understands and excels at all the aspects it takes to be a successful radio personality in today’s competitive landscape. There is no doubt New Yorkers will be excited to welcome him to nights to close out their days.”
Addy said, “The chance to partner with John Foxx at one of radio’s legendary brands seems too good to be true. This begins my second decade of entertaining the Tri-state during America’s most intense afternoon commute, and I’d like to thank Jim Ryan, Chris Oliviero and Jeff Sottolano for making this dream come true on WCBS-FM!”
“I’m almost too excited and delighted to debut Nights on Broadway, evenings on WCBS-FM,” said Lee (right). “This brings me full-circle in my career to when I made a name for myself, being the night jock on several great radio stations, and I’m looking forward to expanding the show to include requests and dedications as I continue my aim to entertain your brain.”
