3/4/26, "710 WOR Adds Veteran NYC Broadcaster Curtis Sliwa To Morning Show"
The high energy duo teams up for the 6 a.m. – 10 a.m. time slot, bringing in a mix of veteran journalism and streetwise New York perspective to the tri-state area’s morning commute.
“It’s been four months since the end of the New York City Mayoral election and most places I go people have asked me to come back to talk radio, so that’s what I’m going to do,” said Curtis Sliwa. “I’m going to the best radio station in New York City, joining my friends of 30 years Mark Simone and Sean Hannity. It’s a full circle moment for me as my first radio station appearance for me was in 1971 when WOR’s Arlene Francis interviewed me as a kid, and I’ve been talking on the radio since.”
The new morning show pairs Sliwa, the founder of the Guardian Angels and a legendary fixture for over 35 years in New York talk radio, with 97-time Emmy award-winner Mendte, a major market TV anchorman for decades who joined WOR’s on-air team in 2023.
“I couldn’t be more excited,” said Larry Mendte. “Curtis is not only a legendary talk radio host, but an iconic New Yorker. What an honor to get to team up with him to get New Yorkers started every weekday.”
“Curtis is a true New York original. His passion and knowledge of the city, combined with Larry’s incredible journalistic background, make them the ideal team to wake up New York,” said Tom Cuddy, Program Director for WOR. “We are thrilled to have this powerhouse duo leading the morning charge for WOR.”
Market veteran Mark Simone will follow Curtis and Larry weekdays from 10 a.m. – Noon as he celebrates his 13th year on-air at WOR. Gracie Award winner and 29-year WOR veteran Natalie Vacca will serve as Executive Producer for the new show.”…
