77 WABC has announced Noam Laden has joined the station as its new News Director.
Additionally, he will host the WABC News Hour with Noam Laden at 5:00 AM each weekday and anchor news updates during Sid & Friends in the morning.
“I’m very excited to join the new 77 WABC,” said Laden. “The station has a terrific lineup of hosts, and the ratings are soaring. It’s great to be part of a winning team with passionate owners. We’ve got lots of exciting plans for distribution of our news.”
It is a return to the station for Laden, who previously worked there from 2003 to 2018, holding similar positions to the one he has now.
“New Yorkers need to be in-the-know first thing in the morning and throughout their busy day,” said Chad Lopez, President of Red Apple Media and 77 WABC. “Our goal at WABC Radio is not only to deliver the news but to include all sides of the story.”
Most recently, Laden was a morning news anchor at 710 WOR.
“When we decided to expand our news, I knew the person who would help us accomplish that goal was Noam,” 77 WABC Program Director Matt Meany said. “I’m thrilled that he’s come to WABC to head up our News Department and to host our 5 am News Hour.”
