 | THE RALPHIE RADIO SHOW Ralphie Aversa spent 2008 covering a historic Presidential Election, interviewing A-List celebrities, and breaking national stories – all while managing to have a life. The multimedia reporter/host began his career at WKSE/Kiss 98.5 in Buffalo, NY – the radio station he grew up listening to. From 2003-2007, Aversa hosted a top-rated weeknight radio show in Syracuse on WWHT/Hot 107-9, while moonlighting at CHR stations in Buffalo and Burlington, VT (WVTK). In addition, he covered Syracuse University Athletics and AAA Syracuse Chiefs Baseball on NPR/News/Sports station WAER. Aversa jetted down I-81 in August 2007 for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, PA – bringing his weeknight radio show to WBHT/97 BHT. In the short time he spent in Northeastern PA, Ralphie has scored exclusive interviews with presidential candidates (Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton), chart-topping artists (Rihanna, Fall Out Boy, T.I.) and award-winning movie stars (Matt Damon, Edie Falco). In addition, Ralphie has broken national stories involving everyone from Sarah Palin to Ne-Yo. Now Ralphie takes the show to 92 PRO-FM! |
