77 WABC has announced it is adding David Paterson to its Left vs Right weekend show alongside host James Flippin.
Paterson, a Democrat, served as the Governor of New York from 2008 through 2010. He made history, serving as the first legally blind person to hold the office of governor, and was the first African American governor of the state.
“I have known David for many years. He is a common-sense politician, with the ability to make insightful observations about national and local politics,” said 77 WABC and Red Apple Media owner John Catsimatidis. “David represents the Democratic perspective with a level head and a focus on finding the common ground that unites us and moves us forward. Our listeners already know David. His entrée to a regularly scheduled co-host of Left vs. Right will be a welcome addition to our listeners.”
David Paterson will step into the role previously held by Anthony Weiner, who is currently off the program as he runs for City Council in The Big Apple.
“I am thrilled to be a part of the permanent WABC Radio line-up and to represent the left side of things,” said Paterson. “As Americans, we have more in common than we might realize. With common sense, we can come together as Americans and New Yorkers and solve our problems. I’m looking forward to working with James and helping to bring New Yorkers together.”
Paterson is no stranger to 77 WABC. He makes routine appearances on The Cats Roundtable with John Catsmidatidis and Cats & Cosby with the station owner and Rita Cosby, as well as Sid and Friends in the Morning with Sid Rosenberg.
Left vs Right airs on Saturday afternoons from 4-5 PM.
