After his defeat in the New York City mayoral race, Andrew Cuomo could find himself on 77 WABC, owner John Catsimatidis says.
Catsimatidis confirmed to the New York Post that a new weekly show with the former New York Governor is “in the works.”
Cuomo would become the latest in a long line of former New York politicians to join the station. Former Governor David Paterson, former Rep. Anthony Weiner, and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani have all hosted programs on the station, as did New York mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa before his high-profile exit last year.
Catsimatidis himself also ran for the top office in the Big Apple in 2013.
On the Sunday edition of his Cats Roundtable program, John Catsimatidis alluded to an upcoming partnership between Andrew Cuomo and 77 WABC.
“I hear you may be talking a little bit more on WABC radio in the near future,” Catsimatidis said.
“I think your station has an audience that is participatory and large,” Cuomo said. “It’s very important that we understand what’s going on and have informed dialogue, and your station is a great vehicle to do that.”
A statement from a spokesperson for Andrew Cuomo said that the former governor “will continue to speak out on the important issues” on 77 WABC and “many other media outlets.”
