Andrew Cuomo is returning to the public stage — this time behind a radio microphone. The former New York governor has landed a weekly Sunday show on 77 WABC Radio, called “The Pulse of the People,” the New York Post reports.
A source close to the arrangement said Cuomo won’t be paid for the program, allowing him to speak freely and steer clear of potential conflicts of interest.
Cuomo said in a statement to The Post, “This is a moment when our country has rarely felt more divided, politics more polarizing and public discourse more toxic.”
“Pulse of the People is about cutting through the noise and the rancor to have real, substantive, fact-based conversations about the issues that actually affect people’s lives,” Cuomo continued. “I’ve spent my career focused on making government work and getting results, and that’s the same straight-forward, problem-solving approach I’ll bring to this program.”
WABC owner John Catsimatidis said the station is welcoming Cuomo aboard, stating, “The show will focus on listener calls and open discussion about the issues, concerns, and views of New Yorkers. WABC believes in bipartisan conversation and thoughtful discussion of solutions, and we invite listeners to tune in and be part of the discussion.”
Cuomo will deliver opening remarks before taking live calls from listeners.
The program marks Cuomo’s first major move since his unsuccessful mayoral bid last year, when he lost to socialist Zohran Mamdani in both the Democratic primary and the general election, where he ran as an independent. Cuomo, who served as governor from 2011 to 2021, resigned amid sexual misconduct allegations he continues to deny. He previously held roles as New York’s attorney general and as U.S. housing secretary under President Bill Clinton.
