Red Apple Now The Official Owner Of WABC

2

John Catsimatidis’s Red Apple Media has completed the $12.5 million purchase of WABC-AM in New York from Cumulus. Catsimatidis told Radio Ink back in June that he has no plans to change the format.

In a press release announcing that the deal had closed, Catsimatidis said he looked forward to working with this legendary New York staple radio station with all of its employees and talent. “It is exciting for our company to be stepping into the broadcasting industry with WABC as the anchor for our growing media assets as we expand into the future.”

WABC General Manager Chad Lopez said he’s thrilled Catsimatidis, a true New Yorker, has acquired, and taken control of, WABC. “John’s passion for radio, along with his appreciation of the rich history of the station, makes this partnership ideal as we work together to give New York City what it deserves — the best News-Talk station in the city.”
