Abel Sanchez: 2 Stations, No Waiting
• In a world where some dance artists are appearing on Alternative charts and Alternative artists are making the dance charts… it only makes sense that New York radio pro Abel Sanchez would be the guy to play them all during afternoon drive on Pulse87ny.com (also carried on KAMP/Los Angeles HD-2) and on the weekends on Entercom Alternative WNYL (ALT 92.3)/New York. The later is familiar turf for Sanchez, who most recently worked at ALT 92.3’s Top 40 predessesor, WBMP (92.3 AMP Radio).
“I’m excited to be part of a format that I’ve always had a passion for and that has been missing from NYC for too long!” Sanchez tells RAMP. “I feel truly blessed to do what I do for a living with formats I truly love. Thank God I’ve been fortunate to work with great people & PDs — and the ride just keeps getting better! I couldn’t ask for better teammates to work alongside, and I can’t thank Joel Salkowitz and Mike Kaplan enough for letting me live the dream.”
Sanchez’s radio resume includes previous stops at WKTU and WAWZ (Star 99.1)/New York, WBON and WPTY/Long Island, WNYZ-LP/New York and WSPK/Poughkeepsie, NY.
