The success of Bernard McGuirk’s morning show

Bernard McGuirk and Sid Rosenberg’s show witnessed such a sharp rise in audience after just a year of broadcasting on WABC’s late-morning show that it was moved to the evening’s most critical time slot.

In March 2020, the station was purchased by John Catsimatidis’ Red Apple Media Group Inc. 

This was just around the time that one of the station’s morning radio shows had skyrocketed in popularity and become one of the most listened-to shows overall.

WABC president Chad Lopez told the New York Post, “We just started doing things the way radio was always supposed to be. The station went back to basic informatics.”

Lopez continued, “and we didn’t let large company thinking or corporate entity thinking where it was done for the money. This was performed for what the product was, and we decided to invest in the product.”

Lopez went on, “We allowed him to be who he was, and I believe that’s a big reason why the show is so popular.” 

Because he could just be himself and do it, that show became the top one. He always gave it straight and didn’t like to sugarcoat things. He also had a good sense of humor.
