The CBS owned talker will get a new live and local line-up starting June 25th. Buzz Bissinger becomes host of afternoon drive. Bissinger is joined by Steve Martorano, currently heard on WPHT and best known to listeners for his many years on WIP. Bissinger said, ?This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for me. I will be as I always am--opinionated, passionate, prepared, and willing to listen...most of the time. Working alongside Steve, a consummate pro, I can promise the audience the show will be lively, entertaining, and informative.?
CBS Senior Vice President for Philadelphia Marc Rayfield said, ?With the Presidential election only a few months away, there couldn?t be a better time to heighten our focus on how today?s issues affect our friends, relatives and neighbors. The addition of Buzz to the line-up and presenting Michael?s program live to the audience gives us an incredible advantage as a station created in Philadelphia by Philadelphians for Philadelphians. Buzz has one of the most compelling voices in Philadelphia today. He?s intelligent, honest and hard hitting. He doesn?t play favorites; his only goal is to pursue the truth and no one in local media is more qualified to do so.?
The station will be anchored in morning drive by Chris Stigall (5:30-9:00AM),
Dom Giordano will follow (9:00AM-12:00Noon).
Michael Smerconish will broadcast live on WPHT from 12:00Noon-3:00PM.
