FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - Air America Radio (www.airamerica.com) today announced that former WABC New York morning drive host Ron Kuby has been chosen to host the 3 pm-6 pm ET show starting Monday, June 9th.


While co-host on WABC news/talk radio from 2000- 2007, Kuby's morning show consistently placed in the top ten for listeners in the highly competitive New York City market.
