Leonard Lopate, the WNYC radio host fired last year amid allegations of inappropriate behavior toward his female colleagues, is returning next week to New York’s radio waves with a show on WBAI.

“Leonard Lopate at Large,” a one-hour program, is scheduled to start July 16. WBAI, at 99.5 FM, is owned by Pacifica Foundation, which is known for its liberal-leaning programming.

Mr. Lopate’s show currently runs as a podcast on Robin Hood Radio, a small NPR-affiliated station.

Mr. Lopate’s career in radio began at WBAI in 1977. During his tenure there, he hosted a gospel music program and a late-night call-in show.

“They called me and of course I was really pleased,” Mr. Lopate said. “Returning to my roots seemed rather exciting and also an opportunity to do something different.”
