A champion of New York, Curtis Sliwa first came to prominence in the 1970s when he formed the Guardian Angels to safeguard New Yorkers on the streets and in the subways. Today, Curtis continues to advocate for citizens of the Big Apple, and his megaphone is 77 WABC, where he hosts several shows each week:
The Rip & Read with Curtis Sliwa
Every weekday from Noon to 1pm, during The Rip & Read, Curtis dives deep into the hottest headlines of the day to serve up breaking news on those stories and provide insights that only a true New Yorker like Curtis can deliver. You can often get a hint of what he’s going to talk about on The Rip & Read during his regularly scheduled 7:15 am guest appearance on Sid & Friends In the Morning.
Another Side of Midnight with Curtis Sliwa
On weekends, Curtis handles overnights from Midnight to 6am every Saturday and Sunday. Whether you’re just getting home from a late-night party, or you’re up early for a pre-dawn run, Curtis takes you on a trip through the theater of your mind. From conspiracies to a nostalgic view of the way things used to be, plus an exploration of the controversies that surround a specific music star or hit song, it’s a wild ride!
The Curtis & Nancy Sliwa Show
Because Curtis loves his wife Nancy as much as he loves his radio audience, the couple co-host an extended Rip & Read on Sunday evenings from 8pm to 10pm.
The Curtis & Nancy Sliwa Animal Welfare Hour
For those who have pets, you know how much you love them. They are family! Curtis and his wife Nancy are big animal lovers and own 13 cats! Or maybe the cats own them!
A decade ago, Nancy started The Guardian Angels Animal Protection Program to help the most vulnerable and voiceless members of our society – animals. If you love animals, tune in every Sunday from 10pm to 11pm for Curtis and Nancy Sliwa’s Animal Welfare Hour.
