Joe Pags is joining Talk 1300 WGDJ’s daily lineup in Albany, New York. The nationally syndicated show will air at 10 PM ET.
What We Know: Joe Pags will add Talk 1300 WGDJ to his syndicated radio lineup with a 10 PM ET broadcast. The move returns Pags to the Capital Region, where he previously worked as a news anchor at CBS affiliate WRGB-TV. He left the station more than 20 years ago but says he continues hearing from former viewers in the area.
What They Said: “For the 10 years I’ve been in syndication, I’ve always hoped to return to the Capital Region of New York where I was proud to be a news anchor on the CBS affiliate, WRGB-TV. Even though I left TV there more than 20 years ago, I still regularly hear from former viewers there and will always consider the area a hometown. I can’t thank Paul Vandenbergh enough for putting me on the air there on his great station WGDJ!” -Joe Pags
What Remains Unclear: The announcement does not specify how long WGDJ plans to carry the nationally syndicated program at 10 PM ET. It also remains unclear whether the addition will affect any other programming currently heard during the station’s evening lineup.
What It Means: The addition gives WGDJ another nationally syndicated talk offering while bringing Pags back to a market with which he has a longstanding professional connection. Meanwhile, his return to the Capital Region gives listeners an opportunity to hear a host with prior local television experience in the area.
