Catholic Review Radio welcomes Mark Viviano

Mark Viviano, retired sports director for WJZ-TV and a columnist for the Catholic Review, is joining Catholic Review Radio as one of the award-winning program’s regular hosts.

Viviano will host up to six shows a year, with his first broadcast set for Jan. 5 featuring an interview with Baltimore Ravens’ chaplain Johnny Shelton.

“My wife, Megan, likes to say that I interview everyone I meet,” said Viviano, a parishioner of St. John the Evangelist in Severna Park. “I guess that’s true to the extent that I’m genuinely interested in people, their life stories and motivations. I look forward to getting to know those I get to interview on Catholic Review Radio and sharing their stories with our listeners.”

Catholic Review Radio is broadcast every Sunday on WMET 1160 AM and 103.1 FM (serving parts of Anne Arundel, Howard and Frederick counties, as well as the Washington, D.C. market), WSJF 92.7 FM (serving Eldersburg/Sykesville) and WVTO 92.7 FM (serving Southwest Baltimore, Catonsville and parts of Southeast Baltimore). The program, which features interviews with newsmakers from the Archdiocese of Baltimore and around the world, is posted as a podcast on Monday mornings, available wherever listeners get their podcasts and at CatholicReview.org/cr-radio.

Over the summer, EWTN Radio began broadcasting Catholic Review Radio daily at 9 a.m. as part of its online streaming “Radio Extra” service. EWTN also features the podcast on its website.

Christopher Gunty, editor/associate publisher of the Catholic Review, and George Matysek Jr., managing editor, are the other regular hosts of the program. The Catholic Media Association recognized Matysek as podcaster of the year and Gunty as runner-up for podcaster of the year at its awards celebration in Atlanta June. 21.
