LINWOOD, N.J. — Harry Hurley, radio talk-show host for over 20 years of Hurley in the Morning, will be taking over the midday time slot of noon-4pm weekdays on WOND 1400AM, effective January 2012, it was recently announced in a media release. He will be taking over the time slot syndicated talk-show host Rush Limbaugh now occupies.
Hurley currently hosts the 6-10am slot on WENJ 1450AM, where he launched his radio broadcast career and spent 15 years prior to a five-year stint at WIBG 1020 AM in Ocean City (returning to WENJ earlier this month). He will be joining fellow broadcast veterans Don Williams (6-10am), Barbara Altman (10am-noon) and Pinky Kravitz (4-6pm) at WOND.
According to the release, Hurley is “known for breaking news and securing high-profile interviews with top news-makers and notables. Hurley has interviewed numerous members of Congress, Governors, state, county and local elected officials, as well as A-list celebrities throughout the past two decades.”
Born and raised in the Atlantic City area, Hurley’s career has also included senior management positions in both the casino and broadcast industries, as well as stints on regional television and as a full-time print reporter for the Press of Atlantic City.
“I am honored to be joining the best live and local talk radio lineup in the history of our market,” said Hurley in the release. “Don, Barbara, Pinky and I will bring more than 100 years of uninterrupted talk radio to WOND — an unmatched record in the history of South Jersey.”
“We could not be more pleased to have Harry join the WOND family,” said Longport Media president Dave Coskey in the release. “When you think of local broadcasters who have shaped and defined news talk for South Jersey. you think Don Williams, Barbara, Pinky and of course, Harry Hurley.”
