“Walter has demonstrated the importance of the late-night talk radio with his Sunday night nationally syndicated program and has welcomed his listeners, who he refers to as ‘friends on the radio,’ to unpack their day-to-day lives,” said David Yadgaroff, Senior Vice President and Market Manager, Audacy Philadelphia. “He’s made strides at Talk Radio 1210 WPHT for a decade, and we’re ecstatic to finally bring his entertaining brand to the Delaware Valley five nights a week.”
