Ernie Anastos to appear on WABC-AM

Popular New York TV personality Ernie Anastos joins WABC-AM to host "Positively Ernie with Ernie Anastos," a two-minute pep-talk and interview feature that airs daily in morning and afternoons, starting Monday. Focusing on a different topic every day, Anastos takes a look at the positive outcome of the stories that shape our world, including current events, social changes, new trends, life challenges, work, home and lifestyle.

"Everybody knows Ernie's smiling face, friendly voice, and reputation as a top journalist in this great city," said Red Apple Media Chief and WABC owner John Catsimatidis. "Now, Ernie is taking another look at our world and bringing us an opportunity to see the positive side of things. I'm delighted to welcome Ernie to 77 WABC where he will certainly attract many of his TV fans and radio listeners."

Ironically enough, he hosts a TV show by the same name, but since it only airs on Gray-owned TV stations, it isn't shown in the NYC market. That said, good to see Ernie back on in the NYC market albeit on radio & in a smaller role.

Ironically enough, he hosts a TV show by the same name, but since it only airs on Gray-owned TV stations,

Very likely that the station is running a two-minute excerpt from the TV show.

Didn't Anastos do a 1 or 2-minute "feature" on WABC or WOR a few years ago where he interviewed people "on the street?" My recollection is that the questions were as inane as the replies. Hopefully this will be different. We'll see.

I heard one of his drop-ins today. I wasn't paying close attention, but it struck me as a recap of stale news from the past couple of days. 🥱
