Axelbank to Launch Radio Program

Bronx TV personality Gary Axelbank will be adding a radio beat to his schedule this August.

Axelbank, host of BronxTalk PrimeTime on BRONXNET for more than 13 years, will debut on WVOX 1460 AM with “GAX in the Bronx.”

The weekly call-in radio program, which Axelbank is producing himself, will air on four consecutive Wednesdays, beginning Aug. 13. In September, he will decide whether to make the show permanent.

Axelbank considers the program a legacy of his cable show BronxTalk AM, which ended in 2005. Since that time, he says, “I think of things every day I want to talk about.” Axelbanks is promising to “take the gloves off.”

In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts.
