"It is very exciting to be back on the airwaves doing mornings on AMP RADIO and to be back in business with my friends at CBS Radio,” said Daly. “Now, not only can people fall asleep to my late night show on NBC, but they can wake up with me on the radio too. I'm thrilled to join a thriving new station in my own hometown.”
