June 24 Patriots, Pasta & Piscopo
June 24 moves the program inside the Sinatra Room at Carmine's Italian Restaurant in Times Square for Patriots, Pasta & Piscopo, featuring Joe Piscopo in a live performance and dinner format. A portion of ticket proceeds will be donated to Equal First Aid courtesy of LifeVac, positioning the ticketed night as a fundraising evening that follows two days of public broadcasts.
Red Steps at 46th Street
46th Street and Seventh Avenue will serve as the free-admission footprint in front of the Red Steps, where lineup contributors Kevin McCullough, Arthur Aidala, Mike Connors, Kevin Cottrell, Nicole Brown and Jamaal Bernard will appear on air. Salem Media framed the rollout in its announcement, saying, "America was founded on faith and freedom, two distinct core values of Salem Media." The on-air series of historical vignettes culminates with the two-day Times Square window into that campaign.
