Sid Rosenberg says he sometimes considers returning to sports radio after another politically charged day in New York. The 77 WABC morning host made the comments while discussing the latest developments in the city.
What We Know: Rosenberg currently hosts Sid & Friends in the Morning on 77 WABC, where he regularly mixes political commentary with sports discussions. His latest remarks suggested that the current political climate has made him reconsider his career direction. Rosenberg has a long history in sports radio, including work in South Florida before returning to New York.
What They Said: “Days like today make me consider going back to sports. Sad but true. What good is the fight if we are not all in this together. You might as well refer to my city now as New Yorkistan! That terrorist scumbag Mahmoud Khalel is at a Yom Kippur break fast in Brooklyn? And my president is complimenting that Jihadi terrorist rat (expletive), Zohran Mamdani? This is the new New York, and it’s coming to a theater near you. Chag Sameach!” -Sid Rosenberg
What Remains Unclear: Rosenberg didn’t indicate that he’s pursuing a return to sports radio or considering an immediate change to his role at 77 WABC. Instead, his comments framed the possibility as something he thinks about during particularly contentious moments. His current show continues to feature sports segments alongside its broader political coverage.
What It Means: For now, Rosenberg’s comments appear to reflect frustration rather than a programming announcement. Still, his remarks highlight the different paths available to a broadcaster with experience across both sports and political talk.
