A “75 Radio” Wedding!?

scoopstanton

Who had THIS on their 2025 Bingo Card!?

The talent, staff and listeners from “75 Radio” as well as personalities from other shows on Liberty News Radio call ourselves “family” for the love we have for one another and the tight bonds we formed over the years. Now we are pleased (and shocked) to announce that “75 Radio” will actually become a family!

Scoop Stanton asked “75 Radio” Spokesmodel Danila Rodrigues for her hand in marriage! And she said yes (poor woman)! The happy event will take place exactly one year from today: April 1, 2026 at the Yhanundasis Town Hall in Yhanundasis, NY. The reception will be at the Roadkill Grill on Route 10 in Downtown Yhanundasis which boasts the best Puerto Rican and Greek food in Wanker County, NY. The happy couple will spend their honeymoon at the ¼ acre Stanton Compound with Scoop’s parents, bothers, sisters, nieces, nephews and 6 dogs! Mr. and Mrs. Stanton will enjoy the start of “Mud Season” where the snow melts and everything turns to mud.

“I am literally marrying the woman of my dreams! I am the happiest man in the world!” Said an excited Scoop. The future Mrs. Stanton was equally excited! “I’m going to be Mrs. Scoop Stanton!? Lucky me. Well that tax credit is really going to help me out . And he never wears his seatbelt and his family has a history of poor health, and he has a big life insurance policy.  It won’t be THAT bad.”

The lovely bride is a graduate of the University of Michigan and has completed a course in anatomy at Harvard Medical School. Besides being the World’s First Radio Spokesmodel, Danila is a nurse by trade, owns DR Wellness and Aesthetics and is also a successful model who appeared in New York’s Fashion Week numerous times.

The groom is a graduate with honors from a General Equivalency Diploma (GED) program and has attended Kee Business College. Scoop is a salesman for the Yellow Pages, a Collections Agent for D&G Collections LLC, and is a part time clerk at Fred’s Adult Emporium.

The couple has registered at Sak’s Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus as well as the Dollar Tree.

Anthony Cumia’s triumphant return!

Sunday night, I listened to Antony Cumia on 77 WABC in New York online. It was like he never left terrestrial radio. Cumia gave kudos to the legendary Bob Grant, who inspired generations of talk radio personalities, including yours truly. One thing Cumia touched upon was terrestrial radio vs podcasting. Everyone has a podcast. You have “podcasts in a box” kits at Best Buy. Everyone has a podcast. And most of them suck, with the exception of handful. And everyone of them has a big honking microphone front and center. It’s like who has the biggest phallus. And Cumia brings up the fact that most of these podcasters are panhandlers. They are all begging for money.

With radio, you can’t see anything for the most part. And that’s a good thing for “75 Radio.” Did I do a show naked? Did I do a show at a nudist resort? Did I paint my nipples green last St Patrick’s Day? Unfortunately only I know. But it creates the image while you are listening. One of the reasons why we put Danila’s picture up and not stills or a video feed is so we are still radio in the digital age. Besides who wouldn’t want to stare at Danila’s picture!? And at the same time we are on all major podcasting services as we are living by Billy Beane in “Moneyball:” “Adapt or die.” More and more people are being entertained on their phones with thousands of options. Everyone knows how I live and breathe rock music from 1964 to 1979. I can’t recall the last time I listened to the “Classic Rock” station in DC. Same could be said about talk radio.

The next day, Cumia went online and reviewed his performance. Its obvious that he’s not only a fan of terrestrial radio but he is humbled to be on WABC. His old partner Gregg “Opie” Hughes went on his podcast which s nothing more than a light, a microphone and a phone and criticized his old partner. Hughes criticized Cumia for doing AM radio at 8 pm on a Sunday night. Hughes also clowned Cumia because his car doesn’t have AM. But, this is 2025. Everyone livestreams! Including Liberty News Radio! What Hughes failed to mention is that 77 WABC is a legendary talk station. People would kill to get a slot on WABC. Second: Cumia is live in the biggest market in the US: New York. Gregg Hughes is no dummy. He knows that. Either he’s jealous or he’s playing into the three people that watch his podcast.

It gets better for Cumia! His show is going syndicated!

Kudos to Anthony Cumia for explaining the importance of terrestrial radio and the talent that still make radio great and congratulations for a great show back on radio!

Anthony Cumia back on radio!

Radio legend Antony Cumia is preparing to make his return to terrestrial radio Sunday, March 9 on the biggest AM talk station, 77 WABC. Cumia has made a name for himself as a “shock jock” since the 1990’s with Gregg “Opie” Hughes and Jim Norton, broadcasting on WAAF in Boston and the legendary 102.7 WNEW in New York. Cumia and company had low brow humour and bits, many of which were sexual in nature. As years went on, Cumia was more vocal on his views on politics and race. In 2014, he was fired for tweeting his anger among a certain group of people and their behavior after he was attacked in the middle of the night in Times Square.

Since that incident in Times Square, Cumia has been even more open, honest and vocal on racial issues. In 2024 he appeared at the American Renaissance convention which has been (falsely) accused of being a white supremacist, white nationalist gathering. He laid out what is wrong with the radio industry.

Radio is going through some tough times. Podcasting is absolutely destroying the industry. Then; the corporations who own the stations will only syndicate their talent under contract. And the days of the “shock jock” has gone the way of the teletype from WINS. Add to the fact competition from everywhere and car companies are not installing radios with the AM dial!

Over the years, radio stations have been bought ought by conglomerates: CBS, Clearchannel (I heart radio) Cumulus, and a handful of others. The Station Managers, and Program Directors cant do what they want anymore. Andy Travis today would have to listen to the people who own WKRP to the letter. The talent could only stay between the lines of what they can talk about. One talent in DC I spoke to said he was never told what he could or could not say. It may be true, but he stays within his lane. Nothing about race issues, nothing sexual, nothing that will get someone fired. Years ago when a personality got fired, their colleagues would rally around them. Today; dead silence. This is for two reasons: first; the other personalities are too afraid to stick their necks out so they won’t get canned. The second reason is because they are trying to get that gig!

As for us, we have talked about g-strings, men using tampons, picking up women in nursing homes and accusing a politician of sexually abusing horses! And this was only in August!

Is Anthony Cumia the answer to saving talk radio? Probably not. But he is the shot in the arm that us in the industry desperately needs!

My Presidential weekend

scoopstanton

By: Scoop Stanton

What a weekend. By pure luck, I had a single Friday off and it’s the weekend before the inauguration! First was the birthday party of Yiqian Zhou, husband of “75 Radio” guest Brie Crenshaw-Zhou. As usual, I bugged Danila for fashion advice. It was either the Allman Brothers shirt with sweatpants and flip flops, or a nice suit. The suit with the Rolling Stones tie worked. I went to a place called Pallette 22 in Washington DC. And I rolled in deep with all my friends!

I was the first one there because everyone else was looking for parking! The usual gang was there. Alessandra Griffitt showed up as well her friend, John Stubbins, who’s been on “75 Radio” before. As usual the ladies looked awesome. Alessandra then invited me and John to a place in Ashburn to see her boyfriends band, Under the Covers play. I’m there! I drive 40 minutes to this nice place in Ashburn and meet some of Alessandra’s other friends. Some other ladies loved what they saw when I walked in! They loved the tie. They were buying drinks, dancing and making small talk! To the tie, not me. I was eating chicken wings with Stubbins!

The next day I met John and 10 other patriots for lunch in Alexandria, Virginia. It was a great as we all made some contacts for our various endeavors. After lunch myself, Stubbins, and two ladies rolled into DC. The ladies needed a ride to their hotel and Stubbins was to meet up with General Michael Flynn. Unfortunately John and the general couldn’t meet up so John and I got enjoy DC traffic!

Later that evening I traveled to John’s hotel to do “75 Radio.” We had a hell of a show talking about the threat levels to President Trump!

Sunday I drove into DC to the Trump rally at the Capital One Arena. Big mistake! DC is on lockdown! Cops, Humvee’s, National Guard, barriers, fencing everywhere! So, this proved our point that there was a serious threat to the incoming President. I heard on the radio this morning some lady said Washington hasn’t been this shut down since 9/11.

Later that night I went to my first inaugural ball as a guest of Andre Soriano.

Soriano is probably one of the best fashion designers on the planet today! He designed the MAGA dress worn by singer Joy Villa. This was the MAGA/MAHA Crypto Ball at the MGM at National Harbor! I had a blast and will write about it later.

i had a great weekend. What’s the best part was that knowing Monday Joe Biden is out and Donald Trump will be sworn into office with a vengeance.

Pete Hegseth gets grilled!

scoopstanton

Pete Hegseth was getting the business from Senate Democrats during his confirmation hearing. They asked him about getting drunk 10 years ago! Scoop couldn’t tell you about the times he got drunk last week! Then the Democrat Dems were grilling poor Petey on bringing women to strip clubs, sexual impropriety, sexual harassment, having kids out of wedlock, cheating on his wife and so on. The more we listen, the more we like Hegseth. The Senate was questioning Hegseth about his ethics and his integrity! As we all know the US Senate is the epitome of values and ethics. Just look at Bob Packwood, Larry Craig, Bob Menendez, the Keating Five, the sex and drug parties that Rep. Madison Cawthon was invited to, selling this country out! We need a Secretary of Defense like Lloyd Austin who went AWOL with his treatment for cancer. He literally told no one, the next person in the chain of command was on vacation in Puerto Rico. And as Secretary Austin was on his way to the hospital, we had troops on the ground conducting military operations. Not even the White House knew his whereabouts! And while contacting 911, his people asked Fairfax County FD to be as quiet as possible!

Look Hegseth isn’t perfect by a long shot. But he is exactly what this nation needs in someone to lead our armed forces! And if you look at things, Dr. Richard Levine got less scrutiny in his confirmation hearing for  the Assistant Secretary of Heath! This is a man who goes around as a woman wanting to push sex changes on kids and the LGBTQ agenda!

Hegseth is a warrior. He has the battle scars we can’t see. Anyone that has been on the front line, in the line of fire, in the fire or giving chest compressions to a child has went through what he went through.
