Race Taylor Extended At WCBS-FM

• Audacy has inked a swell contract extension with Race Taylor to remain as midday host on Classic Hits WCBS-FM 101.1/New York as he celebrates 25 years on the air in New York City.

“It’s been incredible to work alongside Race and watch him make meaningful relationships throughout the Tri-State for decades,” said John Foxx, Brand Manager and morning co-host, WCBS-FM. “He is a one-of-a-kind talent, and we’re thrilled to create many more memories with him as he continues to entertain our loyal listeners.”

Taylor joined WCBS-FM in 2019 after dominating the New York market at the late, legendary, WPLJ for nearly 20 years. He earlier spent several years at KDMX/Dallas and nearly a decade at WKRQ (Q102)/Cincinnati.

“I’m elated to remain at Audacy surrounded by the infectious sound of these legendary stations and celebrate 25 years in New York City,” said Taylor. “The first note of thanks belongs to my wife, Patty, whose dedication to our family has been the very foundation of any success that has found me. I’m also grateful to Workhouse Media’s John McConnell for the friendship and guidance that has helped me navigate my career. I’m looking forward to the journey ahead supported by Chris Oliviero, Jim Ryan, John Foxx and the Audacy team in New York, who have made this achievement more special than I ever imagined.”
