Mr. New York isn’t going anywhere. Longtime 710 WOR host Mark Simone has agreed to a long-term extension with the iHeartMedia-owned station.
Simone has more than 40 years of radio experience in the Big Apple, and shared his admiration for his company and co-workers in the announcement.
“There’s no better place to be in the radio world than iHeartRadio,” said Mark Simone. “Thanks to the finest broadcasting executives around, Tom Cuddy, Thea Mitchem, and Bernie Weiss for making it all happen. Walking to work every day is like walking through the Radio Hall of Fame. Just to get to my studio, I pass Elvis Duran, Jim Kerr, Charlamagne tha God, Angela Yee and other all-stars.”
“When I joined WOR almost 11 years ago, Mark was my first hire,” added 710 WOR Program Director Tom Cuddy. “Since then, it’s been a blast watching Mark grow into becoming the highest-rated radio talk host in his time slot, along with digital numbers that are among the highest in the country.”
Mark Simone joined 710 WOR in 2013 after more than a decade with 77 WABC. He also spent time at 101.9 WPIX and 1130 WNEW during his long tenure in the city.
