Piscopo Plays Sinatra On WABC/NY

• Red Apple Media’s 77 WABC/New York announced the launch of Ramsey Mazda’s Sunday Nights with Sinatra, a weekend show airing the timeless hits of Frank Sinatra. The new show is hosted by comedian and SNL alum Joe Piscopo and is simulcast on sister 107.1 WLIR/Long Island. Piscopo’s addition to WABC’s weekend line-up is the third high-profile addition this year, along with “Cousin Brucie” Morrow and Tony Orlando.

John Catsimatidis, CEO of Red Apple Media, commented, “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.” SVP of Programming Dave LaBrozzi said, “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.”

Piscopo remarked, “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’m thrilled and excited, and it’s gonna be swingin,’ baby!”
