Red Apple Audio Networks closed out 2025 with serious momentum and plenty to celebrate. The syndication arm of Red Apple Media, anchored by flagship 77 WABC, continued its nationwide expansion this year, delivering compelling, personality-driven programming to nearly 500 affiliate stations across the country. Even more impressive, the network surpassed 50 million total downloads in 2025, a milestone made possible by our loyal listeners who tune in daily across platforms. From trusted talk and timely news to iconic voices and entertainment programming audiences love, Red Apple Audio Networks has strengthened its position as a must-carry network for affiliates looking to grow audience loyalty and time spent listening. Strong ratings performance and continued affiliate growth reinforce what stations everywhere are seeing: great content still wins, and Red Apple delivers.

Fueling that success are owners John and Margo Catsimatidis, whose leadership and vision have helped Red Apple Audio Networks continue to grow into a true national force. In 2025, John Catsimatidis was named New York Broadcaster of the Year, a fitting recognition of his impact on the industry and his hands-on role in shaping the network’s programming and partnerships. The whole Red Apple family continues to champion bold voices, trusted brands, and high-quality syndication, all while keeping radio exciting, relevant, and fun. As we head into the new year, we’re energized, grateful, and already building toward an even bigger and better 2026. From all of us at Red Apple Audio Networks, Happy New Year and thank you for making this milestone year possible.
