SEGAL said, "I'm excited to be coming back to NEW YORK, to a station with such a legendary history.  We have built something very special in WASHINGTON, D.C. and RICHMOND and I'm beyond thrilled that the show will continue airing on DC101 and XL102. Now, WOR will be home to ELLIOT IN THE MORNING and I couldn't be more anxious to get going."
 
Pres./Market Manager JOE PUGLIESE added, "This is an incredibly exciting time for WOR.  Bringing AMERICA's top-two talk show hosts to our lineup, the entertaining ELLIOT SEGAL and his team to the mornings and becoming the flagship station for the METS will allow us to create unprecedented marketing opportunities for our partners and unbeatable programming for our listeners."
