The downfall of WABC: From Cousin Brucie to a parade of blabbering whackjobs

New York Times, 1/24/2021
In the heart of New York City, long a Democratic stronghold, WABC has become an established beacon for right-wing views. 
Wonder what happened to Bill O’Reilly after he was ousted from Fox News? He hosts a one-hour show for WABC, after Mark Levin, the syndicated conservative commentator who has a three-hour show at night.
The Fox News host Brian Kilmeade has a two-hour show in the mornings. Bernard Kerik, the former police commissioner, and Jeanine Pirro, the Fox News host, have one-hour weekend shows.


During the 1960s, millions ot East Coast teens -- Retiring Guy included -- tuned in to clear-channel WABC to listen to "The Cousin Brucie Show."

Is the station is looking to rehabilitate itself somehow with this recent hire?  Too late.
