About the show

John Catsimatidis has hosted The Cats Roundtable on Sunday mornings since March 2014; the show has aired on 77 WABC New York since 2020 and began on AM 970 The Answer. Each week he sits down with the people making the news — senators and governors, business leaders, doctors and journalists — for two hours of short, one-on-one interviews, heard in New York, on affiliate stations around the country and as a podcast.

“His honest and straightforward approach allows his guests to relax and deliver candid answers that set the headlines for the next day.” 77 WABC
