Levin Re-Ups With ABC Radio Networks
DALLAS -- January 5, 2009: The Mark Levin Show is nearing its third anniversary, and the conservative talk host has just re-upped with ABC Radio Networks in a new multi-year deal. The show has more than 175 affiliates, and is in nine of the top 10 and 24 of the top 25 markets.
"Mark is one of the most talented and respected broadcasters in our industry and has won over a legion of loyal radio listeners," said ABC Radio Networks President Jim Robinson. "He is an essential driver of our news/talk portfolio, and we are proud to remain Mark's partner in delivering such compelling programming."
Additionally, the show will expand from two hours to three, as of February 2. WABC/New York, KABC/Los Angeles, WLS/Chicago, and WMAL/Washington are among the stations that have committed to the third hour, and ABC Radio Networks expect more to sign on once the show expands.
