Dennis Falcone is an American radio personality and disc jockey.

Career

Falcone began his radio career in 1979 as an intern at a station on Long Island, New York before he began filling in for absent personnel on a part-time basis. He then hosted a religious-based show on Sundays before he moved to nights.[1] He worked at two stations on Long Island before he landed a role as program director with Joe McCoy at WCBS in New York City. This led to a six-year stint as a program director at WBZO on Long Island, before a change of management led to his departure.[1]

After his departure from WBZO, Falcone began a program director's job in New York City at Sirius Satellite Radio, a subscription-based satellite radio service, for its "Oldies" channel. He left after a team of radio consultants took over, causing the unexpected departure of seven program directors, including Falcone, on July 24, 2003.[1][2] He then did some part-time work at a country music station in Westchester, New York and WALK on Long Island. A job for Clear Channel at Premiere Radio Networks ended in 2009, which saw Falcone return to working for Sirius, now known as SiriusXM Satellite Radio.[1]

Falcone has since worked a variety of jobs at SiriusXM including an Assistant Format Manager who helps format its music channels.[1] He also became known for hosting shows on the 1960s and 1970s music channels, and for his appearances on the Opie and Anthony show.[1]
