Sid Rosenberg has risen to talk radio prominence in the Big Apple. And he believes he didn’t get there by strictly sticking to politics.
Earlier this week, a portion of Rosenberg’s conversation with former President Donald Trump went viral, with many national outlets playing clips from the show.
And while he received acclaim for his discussion with the President, that didn’t stop Sid Rosenberg from talking about a sports topic directly after discussing the reaction to his interview with the President.
He shared there’s a method to his madness.
“We’ve got so many great guests talking politics today but we do a lot of sports here. And that’s part of the reason why this show is so successful,” Rosenberg stated. “We had this great sales meeting yesterday, it’s once a month, and John and Margo (Catsimatidis) come. And Chad (Lopez) explained to the whole staff ‘We’re not WFAN.’ Boomer and Gio right now are probably breaking down Drake and Duquesne. And I mean, no one cares. Not even the coaches. We’re not going to do that.
“But to do a show in New York City, especially a morning show, and ignore sports is — how do I say this? — effing stupid,” Rosenberg continued. “it’s the reason Don Imus had all those great personalities doing sports.”
Rosenberg — who rose to prominence in his radio career in sports — shared that he still loves sports and loves talking about sports, and in a market like New York, that still works on the air on a talk radio show, in his opinion.
