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:
“A bibulation of sports writers, a yammer of radio announcers, a guilt of umpires, an indigence of writers.”
—Walter Wellesley (Red)
“Television ... helps blur the distinction between framed and unframed reality. Whereas going to the movies necessarily entails leaving one’s ordinary surroundings, soap operas are in fact spatially inseparable from the rest of one’s life. In homes where television is on most of the time, they are also temporally integrated into one’s “real” life and, unlike the experience of going out in the evening to see a show, may not even interrupt its regular flow.”
—Eviatar Zerubavel, U.S. sociologist, educator. The Fine Line: Making Distinctions in Everyday Life, ch. 5, University of Chicago Press (1991)
“Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
