Boy's Neighborhood is currently syndicated in over 30 markets and growing. It is distributed by ABC Networks.
“Great talent is recognized by listeners coast to coast, and Big Boy is well known to be one of the funniest and hardest
working entertainers in radio today” said Sr. VP Emmis New York Dan Halyburton. “Welcome to our neighborhood Big!”
Cipha Sounds and Rosenberg ’s early edition will precede Big Boy’s show every day with the biting comedy and New
York City flavor of this unique pairing. Previously heard on HOT 97 Saturday and Sunday’s 8-10am, the two have
sparked a heavy following that continues to explode. “Mom will be proud” said Peter Rosenberg. “It is every Jewish
mother’s dream to have her son do mornings on HOT 97.” When reached for a quote, Cipha Sounds was still unaware
of the deal however stated that he “wants to do hood-rat stuff with my friends…so this sounds cool to me.”
Current HOT 97 morning show Miss Jones in the Morning will exit next week after some airtime to bid farewell to her
listeners. “Miss Jones is one of the hardest working radio people I have ever seen and she made history with HOT 97”
said HOT 97 Program Director Ebro Darden. “Miss Jones will have the mic in mornings all of next week so that she is
given her proper respect to tell her listeners how much she appreciates them and reminisce about how great this
program has been.”
