Big Apple's only golf show hits airwaves for third season

NEW YORK - The Metro Golf Show, the New York metropolitan area's only regularly scheduled radio program devoted to golf, is coming back for a third season according to WVOX (1460 AM) in New York City.

The Metro Golf Show premiered on WVOX on in May of 2003 and will continue to be broadcast at the 8 a.m. timeslot for the third season.

Each week, The Metro Golf Show links listeners to the entire New York City local golf scene. The show features profiles of area golf courses, tee times, golfing tips and interviews with local personalities about their golfing life. It also highlights regional golf tournaments
- professional and amateur, male and female - often on site. The host of the Metro Golf Show is Bill Meth, a veteran of the New York golf scene who has covered it for more than 20 years. A fixture broadcasting local golf tournaments, Meth's reports have aired both locally and nationally on such well-known radio outlets as WFAN, WCBS-AM, ESPN Radio and AP Radio.

Meth could also be heard broadcasting live updates on WINS during the 2002 US Open at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, N.Y. He delivers live updates annually at Westchester's two biggest golf tournaments: the Buick Classic at the Westchester Country Club and the Sybase LPGA Big Apple Classic New Rochelle.

"The Metro Golf Show is a unique sports radio program," Meth said of his show. "It is the only radio show that covers the local golf scene on all levels. It is geared to both golfers and golf fans in the New York Metropolitan area who have never before had a radio show exclusively focused on this very popular sport."

Tom Mariam, executive producer for Mariam Communications LLC said Meth brings "unsurpassed broadcast experience and expertise around the links."

"Listeners to The Metro Golf Show will enjoy and learn from Bill's vast knowledge of the local golf scene as well as the game of golf," Mariam said.

WVOX has been on the air for more than 50 years. The station targets the cities of Southern Westchester, including New Rochelle, Mount Vernon, Yonkers, Eastchester, Larchmont, Mamaroneck, Scarsdale, Co-Op City, City Island, Port Chester, Tuckahoe, Bronxville, Rye, Harrison, Pelham, White Plain and the North Bronx.
