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.

“Never before has a generation of parents faced such awesome competition with the mass media for their children’s attention.

—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
“Ethics and religion differ herein; that the one is the system of human duties commencing from man; the other, from God. Religion includes the personality of God; Ethics does not.”
