NEW SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT
Hello everyone, and thanks for your wonderful show of support since my announcement on Tuesday. I can't tell you how much your e-mails have meant to me and my family. I can now tell you that starting on Monday I will be joining WWRL Radio, 1600 on the AM dial. Karen Hunter and I will be co-hosting the WWRL Morning Show Monday -Friday from 6-10AM. Karen has been at the station for a couple of years already. In addition, she is a college Professor and a former columnist for the New York Daily News. She is a registered Republican, but we seem to disagree on most issues. You can also hear live streaming of the show by coming to my web-site and clicking the "listen live" link. Or go straight to www.wwrl1600.com and listen live that way.

I need all of you to spread the word. That will be the hardest part. Getting people in the boroughs, New Jersey, Long Island and Westchester and beyond to know that we exist. I am confident that once they tune in, they won't want to tune out.

That's it for now. Once again, thanks, and spread the word. Stay safe.

Steve Malzberg

Malzberg Debuts as WWRL Morning Host

After 25-years at WABC Radio in New York, NewsMax.com contributor Steve Malzberg starts Monday as drive-time morning host on New York's WWRL 1600 AM.

The conservative stalwart teams up with New York Daily News columnist and Al Sharpton biographer Karen Hunter - a radio pairing that's sure to provoke fireworks.

"The addition of Steve to the ‘RL family represents a next step in ‘RL’s goal of becoming a listening post and sounding board for the New York market. " WWRL program director Rennie Bishop said Friday. "The morning show will continue its upbeat urban talk format bringing fresh, diverse and balanced viewpoints to the audience."

And with Malzberg on board, WWRL is likely to be making some news. Known as one of the most prolific newsbreakers at WABC, his interviews were regularly covered by the New York Post and Daily News.

Months before anyone had ever heard of the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth, for instance, Malzberg got word they were organizing from Vietnam veterans expert B.G. Burkett, and gave his audience a sneak preview on what turned out to be the most politically significant story of the presidential campaign.

When media mogul Steve Brill announced that Sen. Hillary Clinton had fudged records of her meetings with 9/11 families, he dropped the bombshell in an interview with Malzberg.

When firebrand New York City councilman and would-be mayor Charles Barron explained that it was merely "black hyperbole" when he told an audience he wanted to "slap" a white person for his own mental health, it was because Malzberg had him cornered.

And the conservative talker was the only interviewer to confront Clinton National Security Advisor Sandy Berger about his former boss's admission that he turned down a chance to arrest Osama bin Laden - more than a year before the 9/11 Commission put the same question to Clinton himself.

Malzberg's confrontational style makes him unique in his industry. He's willing to apply the rhetorical rubber hose to guests - but somehow manages not to alienate them. So Democrat and Republican newsmakers return time and again to his microphone to break stories.

The veteran talker promises to keep the excitement going at his new home, explaining Friday, "Karen Hunter and I disagree on most major issues, and we plan to present those disagreements in a very passionate, informative and entertaining way. . . When folks tune in...they won't want to tune out."

I was a cave dweller too. Actually got on the air one night to joke about being in the cave.

Nothing against John Gambling but I prefer Glenn Beck to John Gambling. Here in New Jersey when you do not like what is coming out of New York there is always Philadelphia. Speaking of New Jersey I must go and do my part in putting New Jersey in W's Column.

I love Steve, but I'm not happy with him being with a co-host.

I'm often awake in the early morning hours, and Steve was always a pleasure to listen to. Most talkers jangle my nerves for one reason or another, but Malz seems to have the right combo going on; strong opinions with a plaesing personality.

I shall miss him.

Karen Hunter is a left wing cow. I'm listening right now, and if I'm getting riled up I know Steve is getting up there.

She's pretty but her views are ugly to the bone.

I lived in NC four years ago, and during the 2000 election debacle Steve's late night WABC show got me through it. I was able to pick up WABC about 6pm and also remember hearing him paired with Richard Bay. I enjoy listening to Steve's new show but will miss him on Sun mornings.

Stupid move by Malzberg. He was with WABC, a premier station. WWRL is a fringe black "urban talk" station. Karen Hunter is an absolute imbicile. Itis painful to listen to. Malzberg had big ratings on WABC. I cant believe there wasnt a better opportunity for him. Awful career choice.

Awful career choice.>>


I wonder what happened to him at ABC? Did he want a daytime slot? or a raise or what? I guess we'll never know. Most of the station is rented and paid programming by nutrition doctors often times hawking their own products. I like Jerry Hickey who is very knowledgeable and does have some good products.
