The convicted felon and former Philly Anchor is returning to the air, but this time it's on the radio. Mendte is joining the WABC, where he will host a weekly 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm program on Sundays beginning July 27. 

The station notes that Mendte is “a familiar voice to the NewYork metro area, having most recently been a contributor to WPIX's nightly newscast producing commentaries.  

Mendte also hosts a television news and public affairs show for Me TV in Philadelphia.  The show will soon air in New York on Me TV.
