Broadcast Pioneers member Harry Hurley is the award-winning host of the “Hurley in the Morning." The radio talk show airs on WPG Talk Radio 104.1 FM & 1450 AM. Since July 1, 1992, it has been heard by shore residents. That's more than 27 years. In addition to hosting his daily talk radio program, Harry is also the station's senior programming consultant.

Harry was selected to the Broadcast Pioneers of Philadelphia's Hall of Fame in 2013. Two years later, in 2015, he was elected to the New Jersey Broadcaster's Association Radio Broadcasting Hall of Fame. Harry is the only South Jersey broadcaster ever to be inducted into both Hall of Fames.

Harry has also been selected as one of the 100 Most Important Talk Radio Hosts in America by Talkers Magazine for 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 & 2019. The only person from South Jersey, ever. Talkers Magazine selected Harry as the National Humanitarian of the Year Award (2016) recipient for outstanding community service.

The Hurley in the Morning Charity has raised over $900,000 and has directly provided much-needed grants for hundreds of not-for-profit charities (over the past 12 years).

Harry is a fill-in, on-air talent for Fox News Radio on all of their nationally syndicated platforms (Fox News Radio and Fox Nation television).
