Seriously, I love this lady......she is really nice and she has good information......just that simple.

That would be Saturday 11-1 PM on WABC News/Talk Radio New York City.

This Saturday we had  the privilege of listening to Joan's friend, author Mary Higgins Clark talk about her new book involving a Countess and a Bernie Madoff type figure.  In The Melody Lingers On
the mystery surounds  the disappearance of this former financial guru and the money.  Where did they go.........


It was really fun to hear Mary Higgins Clark chat about her history as a writer and her tales of getting started and sharing time in a The Monkey Bar frequented by Tennessee Williams.  Finally a friend suggested Tennessee Williams might like to read her book and help her get a break in the literary world.  After reluctantly giving in Tennessee told Mary Higgins Clark he had many friends that were constantly bugging him and they wrote much better than she did.

Actually, Joan Hamburg had a  very informative political guest this weekend, also..........political strategist Ron Christie gave us his take on the republican party line-up and the reality of the bombastic Donald Trump ever making it to the presidency.

Ron Christie told  us that in fact Trump had not even filled out the mandatory paper listing his address in  order to run for the highest office in our country.  Ron said he felt Trump and fellow big talker Chris  Christie would not be  a  threat to the dems.

Actually, I listen to the show on my comp--it was so easy in those chrome book days gone by.....just  by the simplicity of the thing......but any computer works well to hear Joan.

At the end of the day it is fun to hear Joan any time for just plain pleasant listening to a nice and interesting lady......on the podcast, on the comp or in real time.  Joan has the best ideas for shows to see and where to get a  bite to eat in New York City......it just sounds so fun.

I would love to take a trip and see Joan Hamburg's New York City..............

Thanks, Joan--good listening and well-done.

.....................................

Art Bell is coming back to the radio and the net scheduled to launch July 20........I love George Noory but it would be so refreshing if he could  just lay off the one sided politics.


Your take.....comments welcome....agree or disagree.

Please go to the WABC website and listen to Joan's show on the podcast......let me know what you  think.

Fans of Joan Hamburg were very unhappy with WOR 710 AM when the station unceremoniously dumped her earlier this year, without the chance to do a farewell show. But after a summer recharging, the veteran radio personality has returned.

Starting this Saturday at 1 p.m., the 79-year-old “First Lady of New York Radio” will host a two-hour weekly show on WABC 770 AM. From this week’s glorious announcement:

Hamburg will continue discussing the most important social, economic and political issues that impact listeners’ lives each week. Hamburg will also interview major celebrities and powerful political figures on the program.

Hamburg will also produce weekly features and exclusive programs available in digital formats. In addition, The Joan Hamburg Show programs pre-empted by sports play-by-play will be presented on the 77 WABC stream and within other 77 WABC digital products.

“How excited I am to join legendary WABC radio and work with Kim Bryant, Craig Schwalb and the rest of the Cumulus family,” said Hamburg. “And what a treat to join their roster of the best talk talent in the country. New York get ready – the conversation is about to begin.”

At Michael’s this summer, here’s how Hamburg described the WOR parting when she crossed paths with our “Lunch” columnist Diane Clehane:

“I didn’t see it coming,” Hamburg said. “I never in a million years thought this would happen. I’m still trying to process.”

She recalled the events of that day for me like this: “I was getting ready to go on the air when saw someone from human resources and I thought, ‘Someone is sick and they’re going to ask me to go on for them.'” Instead, she was shown the door that day without any warning. While she admits that the station has the right to let anyone go, she calls the decision to deprive listeners of a proper farewell as “despicable” saying “I love my audience and they deserved better.”

This consummate pro respected by all who know her remains optimistic. “I’m the ultimate Pollyanna,” she said with a smile. “For all of us, there is life out there. Every ending is a new beginning.”

Hamburg was inducted into the New York State Broadcasters’ Hall of Fame in 2012. Welcome back, Joan!

from the ronnie re........



Always listening to talk radio and I have been listening to Geraldo on WABC for over a year now....Recently moving to wichita and looking for good talk radio, Geraldo is really a well done show and hard to beat as he knows the news, the international news, all the big talkers go on his show and most importantly of all......he is not afraid of an opinion different than his.  Then I discovered Curtis and Kuby....hilarious and equally informative.  Now I love Joan Hamburg, as well.  Planning on visiting New York to see Letterman, Joan has all of the tips on the shows and where to eat.  I always listen to Joan now live or on the podcast because I love her friendly voice and she has great information and recipes....she is very interesting, as well.  As far as I can see or hear,  WABC is one of the best talk radio and information stations on the radio today.  I also listen to Larry Mendte on Sunday evenings and he often fills in for Geraldo.  He is an excellent reporter, too.  Now, I do not always agree with Larry but he always researches his facts for the show very well....love to write about him on my blog.    Thank you for your time and best of luck to Joan......the station is lucky to have her.



Please share your thoughts on the radio......agree or disagree.....everyone is welcome.........

Joan Hamburg: The Best New Radio Show--WABC 77 New York

Leave it to WABC 77 New York Radio for the very best listening during the day.....


Always listening to Geraldo and Noam every morning for the latest news, the big political talkers and the best radio information--seriously, Geraldo does the best radio talk news show out there.

Geraldo has the gift of listening to both sides, saying his opinion and making a good show--WABC is lucky to have him.

Challenging anyone to find a better radio show that gives all sides of the latest political view and conduct an interesting show.  The listener is the winner because they have the information.  the defining factor.....Geraldo is not afraid of new information, even if he disagrees--highly unusual in talk radio today.

Follow with the hilarious and again both sides--intelligent radio for the intelligent radio listener...Curtis and Kuby.

But the very best and latest Saturday addition that no one should miss is Joan Hamburg.

This lady has her finger on the pulse of the latest New York information......

Her recipes and restaurant info is to die for........I'm still waiting to make her dressing--crackers and onions and chicken drippings--I'm down for that, Joan.

Please listen to her best interviews show for recipes from the New York Times featuring smothered chicken.

Is there a better value in cooking than a whole chicken....so delicious and so fun to prepare and eat with your family.......

Family people........much to many of my associates dismay......children or dogs and cats......they all like chicken.

Joan interviews Gail Sheey, Harvery Firestein, a very informative stint with a physician describing the death of Joan Rivers...the who what when where why and how......

Love Joan--if you are trying to visit New York to see Letterman--she can tell you where to have a bite to eat and fills one in on the details of the expense account.

I love Joan.......it seems like I am listening to an old friend.....she is perfect for Saturday.....she is also a brilliant radio host.

Wish her the best......

here is a link to the radio station......click on Joan Hamburg and go to the podcast....guaranteed good listening....tell me what you think.

Please do not forget Larry Mendte on Sunday evenings...also he often fills in for Geraldo......love listening to Larry because he always does his homework and has his facts....agree of disagree he stands behind his idea......just another talented radio host on WABC


from the ronnie republic radio round-up....thank you for reading...please share  your thoughts about the radio.....


What's up with George Noory--what day did Coast to Coast AM become a proponent for the ultra conservative right wing agenda.....I'm telling At Bell......

Ronnie and the cats....looks like they are sleeping but they are really listening to Joan

Here's Chloe--Chloe always listens to Joan every Sat--Chlo also listens to Howard Stern because he like Maine Coons

General Wesley Clark: Seal Team 6 Should Not Be Cashing In......

Wesley Clark speaking01 (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

According to General Wesley Clark, today on Geraldo Rivera WABC New York, the members of Seal Team 6 involved in the killing of Osama Bin Laden should not be cashing in on their military experience.

He was very adamant that these individuals speaking out about the activities involved in this very strategic and dangerous mission are giving away our secrets and putting our troops and our country in harms way.

General Clark stated to Geraldo Rivera there are also very many people involved in strategic commands in the Army and other areas of the military that do not talk after important events--he went on to say it was very wrong and he is totally against it.


General Wesley Clark said that Vladamir Putin has invaded the Ukraine and that he feels like he can change international borders at will.  He feels we should give assistance to the Ukraine but not sent troops.

He said this is a very important time in the world today because China, Russia, Iran are all marching toward achieving more strength internationally.

Geraldo Rivera did a good job of asking the former Presidential Candidate questions and getting all of the info without interrupting or becoming angry if he did disagree.

Well done, Geraldo and General Clark, for giving us information of what is gong on in the world today.

Another good show on WABC 77 New York:  Joan Hamburg on Saturdays......and this week she will feature an interview with Vanessa Redgrave.

Thank you for reading....from the ronnie republic radio round-up.

77 WABC: Larry Mendte--Spotlight on A Good Reporter

Good listening this weekend to Larry Mendte........Sundays 7-9 PM on 77 WABC AM Radio New York......(that's Geraldo's station).

He also filled in for Geraldo Rivera on Monday morning in the 10-12 time slot.

Both of his shows offered plenty of new information and facts on the marijuana issue and the Seal Team 6 controversy.

Larry is well informed on the facts so again the listener is the winner because we get to hear new ideas about the topics being discussed.

Larry really knows what he is talking about--his good reporting skills shine through the conversation between Larry and the callers.

The people that call in have a respect for Larry Mendte--the callers are so well informed, too.

Larry is suggesting that marijuana will be legalized in New York just like Colorado and why not take the advantage of the financial opportunities at hand.

Larry told us that many of the original fears about the legalization of marijuana have been proven incorrect over time and fallen off the page one by one.

Larry also feels like the individuals talking about Seal Team 6--members of the team--should be allowed to talk about their activities resulting in the death of Osama Bin Laden.

Actually, Larry Mendte feels like these men should be celebrated as heroes, in this special circumstance, rather that take the silent approach preferred by the Seal Team members and those in charge in order to prevent giving away security secrets.
