Following the announcement that Ally Ali will pull double-duty as morning co-host and afternoon host at Cox Media Group CHR 106.1 WBLI Patchogue NY, the station has unveiled the remainder of its newly revamped lineup.
Production Manager Victoria ‘Tory’ Onorato will take over middays from 10am to 3pm. She had most recently been filling-in afternoons since Kiana Singh’s move to overnights at iHeartMedia’s “Z100” WHTZ New York in May. Onorato started at WBLI as an intern in 2016 and joined Cox Long Island full-time in 2018 spending time in promotions, production, as a board-op, and has spent time in multiple dayparts. She fills the midday slot that had been held by Al Levine until his exit in Cox’s June layoffs.
Cat Sodano has been named evening host at WBLI. Sodano has been serving as a traffic reporter and weekend/fill-in host at the station since 2022. Sodano shared, “Growing up, 10-year-old Catherine would call into this very station absolutely begging the on-air personalities for *NSYNC tickets (obvi), going to every single Summer Jam concert at Jones Beach. From interning here, to now, it’s been a ride! And we’re just getting started! Not everyone gets to live their dream, and I am whole heartedly grateful for this opportunity hopefully, I will bring you, our incredible listeners, the same joy, and excitement I experienced.”
Syke & Ally Ali remain in mornings.
