LISTEN TO ANDREW: WILKOW on WABC
Sunday, 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. EST
THE NEXT GENERATION OF GREAT TALK RADIO
Andrew Wilkow is the newest and youngest member of the WABC air staff. Yes, he's in his very early 30's, but we don't want to reveal his real age because we don't want to come back and update this bio every year. He does speak a little bit of a different language than your typical WABC talk show host, but we think that's a good thing.

Wilkow first came to the attention of WABC Program Director Phil Boyce when he was doing a mid-day rock show on a Hartford FM music station. Boyce heard the show, and wasn't that impressed with the music, but liked the 2 to 4 minute rants from Wilkow, that ran the gammit from "getting stuck in traffic" to what he thought about female liberalism. "I thought if he could do that for 2 to 4 hours instead of 2 to 4 minutes, we might be able to turn him into a talk show host," said Boyce, who began using Wilkow on the weekends as a sub host.
Wilkow loved the new freedom of talk radio, where he did not have to shutup and start playing more rock music every few minutes. He also loved the outspoken and often controversial callers that lined up to get on the air when he was doing a show. WABC decided to find a spot for the rocker....who wanted to be a talker. That was right about the time that his FM rocker in Hartford changed formats to country, leaving Wilkow out of a fulltime job.
Word soon spread however about his stints on WABC, and soon WGY in Albany came calling, and offered Wilkow the fulltime talk show gig he had been craving, and allowed him to continue his weekend shows on WABC. WGY is no stranger to providing talented hosts to WABC, as it once was the home of Mike Gallagher, who enjoyed several very successful years on WABC after his WGY days.
Wilkow is not sure where this wild radio ride will taken him, but he seems happy to have survived the format slippery slope that radio can often become. He's now living his dream of turning his early rock radio experience into that of a successful talk show host, and loves his weekend show on WABC, the most listened to talk station in the nation.

Good morning Ali. Thanks for the ping. Hopefully my kids will go play in the snow so I can listen for awhile. :)

How about Tom and Katie Andrew... can you go there?
That was the question I would've loved to hear on Roe and fallout... the cost in Medicaid.
