77 WABC has announced it is elevating Joe Concha to its daily lineup with a new show set to air in the nighttime window.
Concha, who already hosts a weekend show on the station that is nationally syndicated through Red Apple Audio Networks, will take over the 9-10 PM ET timeslot on the New York news/talk station.
Currently, that hour is occupied by Bill O’Reilly. There is no word on whether or not O’Reilly will shift to a different window on the station or if his relationship with 77 WABC has ended.
In addition to his radio work, Concha also serves as a nationally syndicated newspaper columnist and is a contributor at Fox News.
“Joe is exactly the kind of smart, credible, non-nonsense voice we promised our listeners,” said 77 WABC owner John Catsimatidis. “Listeners trust Joe and his ratings success backs that up. We are delighted to add him to our weeknight programming.”
Concha will begin his show on Monday evening. His Sunday show, heard from 12-1 PM ET, as well as Joe Concha Sounds Off, his daily two-minute commentary vignette, will also continue in addition to his new weeknight program.

I listened to 77WABC Sunday Jan 11. John Cats at 8am, followed by John Cats at 9am, followed by John Cats at 10am, and later John Cats at 3pm and 4pm. They have no bench. Fired everyone. Gone from never repeating programming to doing it all the time. And now they are going to hire Andrew Cuomo.
It’s time for O’Reilly to be out to pasture as he was getting old with the same old comments, and he thinks he knows everything which he doesn’t.
