Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa angrily quit his radio gig at 77 WABC on Wednesday in a fiery on-air argument after its owner and one of the station’s most recognizable hosts called on him to drop his Big Apple mayoral bid.
“You will never see me in the studio of WABC ever again,” Sliwa told host Sid Rosenberg, who is pushing Sliwa to move aside so independent candidate Andrew Cuomo has a better shot at upsetting Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani.

The station’s owner, Republican John Catsimatidis, also issued a plea for the defiant Sliwa to raise the white flag.
“I feel personally offended by friends and colleagues at WABC,” Sliwa also said, adding that the station has become “Always Broadcast Cuomo.”
“They have been saying I’m selfish, are you out of your mind?” he said.
