In a news release, Red Apple Audio Networks announced the nationwide syndication of “Sundays with Sinatra” hosted by Joe Piscopo, a two-hour program dedicated to Frank Sinatra’s greatest hits. The show is on Sundays on 77 WABC Radio in New York City from 6 to 8 pm. Piscopo is an alum of Saturday Night Live, who impersonated the “Chairman of the Board” regularly on the show.
John Catsimatidis, the owner of Red Apple Media, which includes Red Apple Audio Networks and WABC Radio, said, “you can’t get this anywhere else.” He added that they broke away from the standard of 24/7 news and talk and put music on 77 WABC on Saturday and Sunday nights because listeners want a break and some fun. Catsimatidis said that their weekend numbers have skyrocketed as a result.
Joe Piscopo has always been a massive fan of Sinatra, and his life was highlighted when Sinatra referred to him as the Vice Chairman of the Board. Piscopo said, “When he (Sinatra) called me Vice Chairman of the Board, I almost fell over. The joy I get from playing Sinatra’s songs on 77 WABC is immeasurable, and Sinatra’s music is timeless. I’m excited about bringing Sundays with Sinatra to radio stations across America.”
Chad Lopez, the President of Red Apple Media and 77 WABC, said that Piscopo is perhaps Sinatra’s biggest fan, and his well-known imitation of the legendary singer is always respectful. He added that Piscopo has a terrific voice, and it’s more like he’s channeling Sinatra. With the show’s national syndication, listeners across America can now enjoy “Sundays with Sinatra,” Hosted by Joe Piscopo, and experience the timeless music of Frank Sinatra.
