PACO LOPEZ IS BACK IN NEW YORK CITY!
Well, kind of… His weekly three-hour throwback show “The Back In The Day Replay®” with Paco Lopez was just added at Audacy WXBK, 94.7 The Block.
Paco Lopez was originally in New York in 1993 as the APD/PM Drive Air Personality at Hot 97 when the station flipped to Hip Hop and R&B and he broke the songs currently on the show. Skip Dillard, The Block’s Brand Manager said, “Paco’s knowledge and love for the music he played on NYC radio in the 90’s makes him a perfect fit for the Block! We’re thankful to have him getting our listeners out and about for the start of their weekend.” Paco said, “I appreciate the opportunity that Skip Dillard and Chris Oliviero have given us in New York. It’s great to be back!” Rich O’Brien, Chief Development Officer at G Networks adds, “Paco is a major market veteran who’s hosted AM and PM drive and programmed many successful stations including Hot 97 NYC, WPGC DC, KKFR Phoenix, 102 Jamz Orlando, and Jammin’ 105.7 Las Vegas to name a few and are very excited about this next chapter!”
