Larry Mendte

At one time he was an anchorman here at Channel 2 in Chicago. He has gone on to work in television in Philadelphia, and was fired for inappropriately going through a colleague's e-mails. He confessed to that, and to having an inappropriate relationship with her that went sour, and was sentenced to probation. But he's back. From today's RAMP Newsletter...

Cumulus News-Talk WABC/New York augments its weekend line-up with the addition of The Larry Mendte Show Sunday nights from 7-9pm, starting this weekend. Mendte (left) is a familiar voice to the New York metro area, having most recently contributed his commentaries to WPIX-TV's nightly newscast. He's also a well-known figure in Philadelphia media from his long stint as an anchor on KYW-TV and his 2012 morning radio show on WWIQ-FM. WABC PD Craig Schwalb said, "The addition of Larry Mendte to our roster of trusted New York personalities makes Sunday nights on 77 WABC an appealing and exciting destination for our listeners." An equally excited Mendte added, "77 WABC is an iconic radio station with some of the biggest names in talk radio. I'm thrilled to be a part of it."
