SIRIUS Change For CUZ BRUCIE

(From The New York Daily News)

COUSIN BRUCIE will be coming at you again soon -- without commercials.

BRUCE MORROW -- a familiar New York radio voice for decades until being unceremoniously bounced last week from WCBS-FM -- signed a five-year deal with SIRIUS SATELLITE RADIO Thursday to anchor three shows a week, beginning next month.

"I am riding so high -- I'm on a rocket ride; I'm above a satellite," Morrow gushed Thursday. "They've given me a national audience."

The Brooklyn-born Morrow, 67, blasted his former employer for notifying him at 3 pm last Friday that the station was ditching its oldies format -- and its deejays -- for a iPOD-like format called JACK in 90 minutes.

"Broadcasters are not making decisions anymore -- business is," said Morrow, a New York radio mainstay since the late 1950s.

"This is New York City. You can't pull the plug like that on the New York audience."

Morrow said he will do two rock 'n' roll shows a week for SIRIUS, including a live Saturday night show.

In addition, he plans a "lifestyle" program that will involve talk, interviews, audience conversations and probably music.
