Curtis Sliwa had his debut on 710 WOR this morning alongside co-host Larry Mendte. He couldn’t help but marvel at the talent at the iHeartMedia New York offices.
To begin Curtis Sliwa and Larry Mendte in the Morning on Monday, Sliwa remarked about how impactful the assembled voices at the cluster have been in the radio industry.
“What a welcome I’ve been given here by the iHeartRadio family. First Tom Cuddy, and he made the match between me and (Larry Mendte). And I’ve known (Larry) for years,” Sliwa said. “And who lets me in this morning? Jim Kerr, 52 years, a legend at WAXQ, who remembers me from back in the 70’s interviewing when I started the Guardian Angels.”
Curtis Sliwa then continued by noting that there are plenty of others who might not have the longevity in the market that Kerr does, but are also superstars in their own right.
“And then on Friday when I came here so I can be introduced to the staff, who’s meeting me in the hallway? Charlemagne Tha God, The Breakfast Club guy at Power 105, Elvis Duran from Z100, Hollywood Hamilton at WKTU. And then of course the veteran of all veterans, Mark Simone. This is a Hall of Fame.”
