Radio and Television Personality
Kuby has long appeared on local television news programs, typically ready to give colorful comment on behalf of his newsworthy clients. A tall, energetic man with a trademark beard and ponytail, he soon became a familiar figure.
From 1999 to 2007, Kuby and Curtis Sliwa co-hosted a daily radio show entitled Curtis and Kuby in the Morning on WABC-AM 770 in New York City. After the eight-year run, WABC replaced the show with Don Imus and retained Sliwa. Kuby and Sliwa then shared a short-lived midday television program on MSNBC. Kuby began broadcasting on Air America Radio in 2008, at first as a replacement for Randi Rhodes, then later with a regular show, Doing Time with Ron Kuby. In May 2009 Air America moved Kuby's show to a new time slot, which took him off of the schedule for many affiliates. By June, his show was removed from Air America's schedule.
He is also a frequent pundit and substitute anchor on Court TV and has appeared several times on the Discovery Channel program Oddities offering legal advice.
Unlike defense lawyers who usually suppress specifics as to their residence, family and habits, Kuby agreed in 2012 to be featured in the weekly New York Times "Sunday Routine" photo report on prominent or colorful New Yorkers.

Famous quotes containing the words radio, television and/or personality:
“Local television shows do not, in general, supply make-up artists. The exception to this is Los Angeles, an unusually generous city in this regard, since they also provide this service for radio appearances.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
“What is a television apparatus to man, who has only to shut his eyes to see the most inaccessible regions of the seen and the never seen, who has only to imagine in order to pierce through walls and cause all the planetary Baghdads of his dreams to rise from the dust.”
—Salvador Dali (1904–1989)
“It is in our interests to let the police and their employers go on believing that the Underground is a conspiracy, because it increases their paranoia and their inability to deal with what is really happening. As long as they look for ringleaders and documents they will miss their mark, which is that proportion of every personality which belongs in the Underground.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
